ADAMS, Jay. Encouragement isn't enough. Stanley, NC: Timeless Texts 2007. 98 p.
It's happened to you many times before: your friend just seems down about everything,
nothing's going right, and even the weather is dreary. You rack your brain trying to think of
something to say, but words just won't come. Finally you mutter something like "I'm sure it'll
work out," or, "Just keep on smiling." Pathetic. Lame. And not remotely encouraging to your
friend. So, what can you say to your friend? Should you possibly even do something? Dr.
Adams defines biblical encouragement, demonstrates its importance for the spiritual well-being
of Christians, and then teaches you how to put it into practice.

ADAMS, Jay. Importance of faith in counseling. Stanley, NC: Timeless Texts, 2007. 76 p.
Is your counseling "mixed with faith," as the writer of Hebrews put it? Of course you want your
counselee to have faith. But let me ask another question. Do you believe God can really change
your counselee? If you do not, then your counseling will be unbiblical, moralistic, and
ineffective. Faith is essential to the solution of spiritual problems - your counselee's faith in God
and also your faith in God. Without faith, it is impossible to please God. In this volume you will
learn what it means to counsel with faith, for results that faith produces, and that help grow
greater faith in counselees.

In Insight & Creativity, Dr. Adams' challenge is not only to seek improvement; here he carefully
leads counselors to develop better insight into the problems of the counselee and encourages the
creativity required to help them overcome the sins in their lives. First published in 1981, Insight
& Creativity contains examples from that time frame; however, the timelessness of the
problems described make this book as relevant today as then. The material continues to be most
useful to the counselor today.

Jay Adams provides biblical, practical and straightforward guidance. You would expect nothing
less from Jay! He helps you distinguish and navigate problems that you bring upon yourself as
well as those that are brought upon you. He grounds the Christian s ability to solve problems in
the God who solves our problems of sin and suffering through the life, death, and resurrection
of Christ and the giving of the Holy Spirit. From there, he maps out a strategy for using the
means of grace (the Bible, prayer, and other believers) to find a clear path to change.

You dont have to be a professional counselor to help people solve problems. But you do have

counseling written specifically for laypeople. Jay E. Adams, a pioneer in the field of counseling,

failure among fallen men - even those redeemed by God's grace - will occur, what can be done
to rectify failures? This is an important study for those counselors who have not adequately

With the evermore apparent failure of modern psychotherapies and a discomfort with
pharmacological strategies, many churches are reaffirming the sufficiency and power of the
Scriptures to change lives. To aid churches in ministering to broken and hurting people, the
authors of Counsel from the Cross present a counseling model based on Scripture, powered by
the work of the Wonderful Counselor, Jesus Christ. Through careful exegesis and helpful case
studies, they demonstrate the why and the how of consistently biblical, gospel-centric

The best way to leave a legacy is to equip others to leave their own. Leaders want to change
lives, and the best leaders know that a truly effective ministry must train its members to become
leaders themselves. After all, God s people want to change lives too but we are all tired of
approaches that promise much and deliver little. We are ready for an equipping ministry that is
comprehensive, easy to implement, and relationship-oriented; not program-focused. The 4E
Ministry Training Strategy, tested in hundreds of churches already, is a best-practice tool for
empowering God s people to make disciples.

nature of our personalities, our development, our relationships and our inner well-being. All of
this has been of interest (and sometimes of concern) to Christians because of the importance we
place on a correct understanding of human nature. Psychology often seems disconnected from,
if not antithetical to, Christian perspectives on life. In this book are gathered four models of the
relationship of psychology and Christianity. David Powlison offers the biblical counseling
model.

LAMBERT, Heath. The biblical counseling movement after Adams. Westchester, Ill:
Crossway, 2011. 224 p.
People inside and outside of the biblical counseling movement recognize differences between
the foundational work of Jay Adams and that of current thought leaders such as David
Powlison. But, as any student or teacher of the discipline can attest, those differences have been
ill-defined and largely anecdotal until now. Heath Lambert, the first scholar to analyze the
movements development from within, shows how biblical counseling emerged from, and
remains rooted in, a commitment to the sufficiency of Scripture and the need to give practical
help to struggling people.

LAMBERT, Heath. The Gospel and mental illness CreateSpace, 2014. 58 p.
We live in a broken world, beset with overwhelming problems: disease, pain, death, sorrow, sin
and mental illness--clinical depression, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder,
schizophrenia, and panic attacks. Our culture assumes people diagnosed with mental illness are
stuck, doomed to struggle for the rest of their lives against a problem without ever experiencing
real and lasting change. As Christians, we know better. The world is broken, but God has
invaded that world with the power, light, and hope of his Son Jesus Christ. Whether you are
tormented with panic attacks or thinking of committing suicide, Jesus can help.

OWEN, Jim. Christian psychology's war on God's word. Stanley,NC: Timeless Texts, 2004.
220 p.
Are we victims of our past? Are we suffering from the ravages of low self-esteem? Do we need
Christian psychology to rescue us? Owen calls believers back to the all-sufficient Jesus
Christ. He urges them to trust fully in Christs provisions, the power of the Holy Spirit and the
sure guidance of Gods Word.

PEACE, Martha. Psychologized man: a biblical perspective. Bemidji, MN: Focus, 2003.
26 p.
If our minds are to be transformed to think Scriptural beliefs about God, we must also have a
biblically accurate view of man. The evolution of psychology as detailed in this booklet,
focuses on men and women and their needs rather than God. We must evaluate our thinking of
ourselves as "Psychologized Man Most High."

POWLISON, David. The biblical counseling movement: history and context. Greensboro,
NC: New Growth Press: 2009. 352 p.
This book is an invaluable resource for those who want to understand the biblical counseling
movement. The core chapters were originally a Ph.D. dissertation in history of science and
medicine (University of Pennsylvania). This new edition adds a lengthy appendix, containing
articles by Dr. Powlison. These extend and deepen the history, giving a fine-grained analysis of
developments within the biblical counseling movement and in its relationship to evangelical
psychotherapists. The author also freely expresses his point of view and personal convictions
regarding the history he has carefully described.

TYLER, David. God's funeral: psychology: trading the sacred for the secular. Bemidji,
MN: Focus, 2009. 134 p.
There has been a subtle and increasing change in the theology of the Christian Church today.
Our taste for anything psychology appears to be insatiable, and has led the Church, with
disastrous consequences down the road of accommodation and compromise. This book is a call
to return to the sufficient words of God found in Scripture, and to seek help from biblical
counselors when life's problems overwhelm us.

WELCH, Edward. The counselor's guide to the brain and its disorders. Glenside, PA:
CCEF: 2015. 336 p.
This book presents clear and accurate information about the body and brain so that two
extremes can be avoided: the assumption that human behavior is simply and comprehensively
an act of the will unaffected by brain/body/chemical mechanisms and, on the other side, the
assumption that human behavior is essentially biological functioning that is exclusively dictated
by brain/chemical mechanisms.
