Biblical Counseling and Mental Disorder Diagnosis ebook

Looking for another format?
Paperback

About the book

Dr. Jenn Chen, a veteran psychologist turned biblical counselor, addresses the very relevant topic of mental disorder diagnosis and how to think about it biblically. She will help you to understand the DSM (The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders), what some have incorrectly labeled “the bible” of mental health. Jenn demonstrates how the DSM is not as scientific as it is purported to be, nor is the process of diagnosing. While some in the biblical counseling world are seemingly moving toward the DSM, Jenn has removed herself from it and has accepted the Bible as her standard.

Biblical Counseling and Common Grace ebook

Looking for another format?
Paperback

About the book

In this ebook, Heath Lambert addresses the important topic of the doctrine of common grace. He exhibits a command of the subject and with laser-like precision demonstrates the beauties and limitations of this crucial doctrine. He also emphasizes what historic biblical counseling has taught concerning the sufficiency of Scripture and shows the weaknesses of endeavoring to use the doctrine of common grace to allow for integration of secular methodologies. Of course, this is all for the glory of God and the good of His people through the power of the gospel.

—Paul Tautges: Pastor; Author of Remade: Embracing Your Complete Identity in Christ, Anxiety: Knowing God’s Peace, Counseling One Another, and many others
\”This is a very readable apologetic on the sufficiency of Scripture in the counseling arena… Every believer can benefit from this book, but especially those who desire to minister effectively to those touched by trauma and struggling with its effects.\”
