Biblical Counseling presents a model for groups setting up a counseling practice based on Scripture. Clark presents the research that is the basis for this work as well as the experience gained through years of work in various venues. In addition to the step-by-step guides and templates of useful forms, there is a wealth of guidance in many aspects to be considered.
Rather than another book about another program, Clark’s work represents a move to the development of a culture of concern for others in the local church.The book is divided into three parts: The Case for Biblical Counseling, Developing Counseling Training and Structure, and Protecting the Church. Biblical Counseling will instruct and motivate local churches to equip believers to care for each other within the local church.
Practical wisdom and vast experience makes Biblical Counseling the best resource for pastors and counselors as well as those wanting to assist in setting up counseling clinics.
