A Theology of Christian Counseling connects biblical doctrine with practical living. Salvation, that central concern of Protestant theology, is often too narrowly defined. It is thought of as “being saved from the consequences of sin.” But God is doing much more. He is making something new out of the old sinful nature. He is, in Christ, making new creatures. “No counseling system that is based on some other foundation can begin to offer what Christian counseling offers. . . . No matter what the problem is, no matter how greatly sin has abounded, the Christian counselor’s stance is struck by the far-more-abounding nature of the grace of Jesus Christ in redemption. What a difference this makes in counseling!” In this book the reader will gain an insight into the rich theological framework that supports and directs a biblical approach to counseling. And the connection between solid theology and practical application will become compelling. This book is one-of-a-kind.

I enjoyed reading this book throroughly. I have a BS degree in Psychology and was considering getting a Master's Degree in Marriage an Family Therapy, but this book has opened my eyes to the need for couselors who will use the Bible as the basis for all of their counseling efforts. In studying psychology I never really placed much faith in the theories that were proposed by people like Freud and Skinner, and the like. As a matter of fact in looking for something concrete in any of these theories, I became bored with the subject matter. I believe after reading this book that I understand why: the basis for all of these theories is humanistic/atheistic ideals that do not tap into the real source of counsel that is found in God's Word. Adams really put the terms "godly counsel" and "ungodly counsel" into perspective in this book. A great read!
