Synopsis

In Effective Biblical Counseling, Gold Medallion Award-winning author Dr. Larry Crabb presents a model of counseling that can be gracefully integrated into the functioning of the local church. He asserts that counseling is simply a relationship between people who care and that its goal is to free people to better worship and serve God. This book will show you how to help people achieve obedience and character growth in their lives, and establish a sense of personal worth and security along the way. Dr. Crabb says, "I believe that God has ordained the local church to be his primary instrument to tend to his people's aches and pains. In writing this book I have tried to be of practical help to Christians who want to be more effective in ministering to their suffering brothers and sisters."Accompanying charts and graphics are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

Right in the first paragraph of the Introduction, Crabb had my interest. Crabb writes: My purpose in writing this volume is to think through a model of counseling which can be gracefully integrated into the functioning of the local church.

Goodreads review by Apryl

I thoroughly respect Dr Crabb's insight, knowledge and wisdom, so reading this early work (1977) added to my own understanding. It wasn't an easy read, as he was still more of a clinical psychologist at that point. There was a lot of justification over why the layperson needs to step up as prelimina......more
