Publisher Description
A model of counseling that can be gracefully integrated into the functioning of the local church.
In Effective Biblical Counseling, Gold Medallion Award-winning author Dr. Larry Crabb 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."

Personal reflections
My first biblical counselling book! Crabb does a good job in explaining what biblical counselling is, as well as giving a good perspective on what to take from secular therapy/psychology. Larry provides a counselling framework and uses real-life examples to show how it can be applied. Laypeople with no previous training/education would greatly benefit from this book as the things he teaches can be quickly implemented in building up the church through caring for other brothers and sisters.
