Counsel With Confidence A Quick Reference Guide for Biblical Counselors and Disciplers When you were learning to ride a bicycle, the hardest part was the first few pedal strokes—those wobbly seconds before you built up enough momentum to maintain your balance. A generous push from your dad was just what you needed to avoid ending up in a heap of elbows, knees, handlebars, and spokes. Counseling is similar. Sometimes you need something to give you some momentum, something to give you the confidence that you’re on the right track. If you’ve ever felt like that, this book is for you. A book to guide counselors and church leaders in being well informed and to help them bring about heart-based change in the lives of the people they counsel through the right application of Scripture. Easy for quick reference in alphabetical listing under primary categories Rich in Scripture content and application Applies the Word consistently Draws from the author’s wide experience as a local pastor Published by Shepherd Press Shepherd Press is committed to providing God’s people with solid biblical books and materials. The resources we publish have two qualities that make them unique and spiritually satisfying. First, they focus on heart issues rather than performance issues. We all know that it is possible to master some Christian performance skills without experiencing internal change. We long for authentic change that works from the inside out. Our resources focus on the 'abundance of the heart,' not just performance. Second, our resources maintain the centrality of the gospel. The riches of the gospel go deeper than the wonderful assurance of forgiven sins and eternal life. The message of the gospel also includes radical, internal transformation and empowerment to live in the ways God calls us to live. At Shepherd Press we look for materials that serve both of these ends—they help us identify the idols of the heart that pollute our service to Christ and keep us from obeying God. They also encourage us that we can 'do all things through Christ who gives [us] strength.' They remind us that the gospel is for Christians as we daily repent and cast ourselves on the abundant grace of Jesus Christ. Our Distinctives: Gospel Driven Heart Focused Life Changing
