Counseling the Hard Cases

True Stories Illustrating the Sufficiency of God’s Resources in Scripture

De: Stuart Scott, Heath Lambert

Narrado por: John Behrens, Lisa Wright

Biblical counselors have worked for decades to demonstrate that God’s resources in scripture are sufficient to help people with their counseling-related problems. In Counseling the Hard Cases, editors Stuart Scott and Heath Lambert use the true stories of real patients to show how the truths of God’s word can be released to bring help, hope, and healing into the lives of those who struggle with some of the most difficult psychiatric diagnoses. From pastors and academics to physicians and psychiatrists, a world-class team of contributing counselors share accounts of scripture having helped overcome bipolar, dissociative identity, and obsessive compulsive disorders, postpartum depression, panic attacks, addiction, issues from childhood sexual abuse, homosexuality, and more. The book also shows how the graces of Christ, as revealed in the Bible, brought powerful spiritual change to the lives of such people who seemed previously burdened beyond hope by mental and emotional roadblocks. Contributors include John Babler, PhD, Kevin Carson, DMin, Laura Hendrickson, MD, Garrett Higbee, PsyD, Robert Jones, DMin, Martha Peace, RN, Steve Viars, DMin, and Dan Wickert, MD.

Fantastic examples of hard cases being met with the power of the gospel

Loved this book. So many amazing stories of people who we not only helped, but healed and redeemed from many different sins, addictions, and abuses. The sufficiency of scripture is on display throughout this book, and the real life stories are incredibly encouraging and heartening. Knowing that there really isn’t any matter of the heart that God isn’t able to meet with the power and grace of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

We can trust God to use His Word thru His Church

Clear and humble examples of the nitty gritty of loving God and our neighbor through trusting and obeying His sufficient Word.

Great resource

Great resource for biblical counseling. I do think the audio is more beneficial to listen to while also reading the text.

clear detail presentation

book clearly sets out to show that God's word and plans is what this age needs

Incredible book

I absolutely love the way these cases are handled and how they are open minded caring, compassionate, but yet still use the biblical foundations and apply it to hard cases
