What you hold in your hands represents the most comprehensive, practical, and useful instruction manual in existence on how to minister effectively to those who are hurting. I only wish I had it when I first started a lay counseling program in a large church in 1982! Trained and credentialed both as a minister and as a clinical psychologist, I can attest to the fact that this classic resource is solid both theologically and clinically. My friends Drs.

Clearly written, well-researched, and eminently applicable, this book is a must-have for any Christian leaders called to help and serve others. I recommend it heartily!

The combined professional and ministry experience of Drs.
