Christians Who Counsel

Ray S. Anderson

4.3/5 ( ratings)

Ray S Anderson has written this book as a theologian with a keen interest in helping Christian counsellors fulfil their task more effectively by enabling them to see that task more clearly. Too often, even counsellors who achieve effective results are beset by what Anderson calls "an uneasy conscience" - the realisation that for some reason "a little transactional analysis once a week works better than a month of Sundays in curing the souls of troubled parishioners". This book seeks to put that uneasiness and ambiguity to rest by helping counsellors see their work as a means of grace. Christians who counsel has three parts, involving building a foundation for Christian counselling, exploring the spiritual dynamics in counselling, and describing counselling in a distinctly Christian mode. Written without either theological or psychological jargon, this book is for all Christians who counsel, whether pastors, lay counsellors, psychotherapists or family therapists.
