Biblical counselors have long been told that their approach may serve ordinary troubles but cannot handle the hard cases. This volume answers that directly: edited by Stuart Scott and Heath Lambert, it gathers true case studies in which experienced counselors worked with severe presenting problems and documents what they actually did.

Each chapter is written by the counselor involved, describes the case as it presented, and then shows the biblical reasoning and the course of the counseling, including where progress was slow. The cases cover conditions commonly assumed to be outside the reach of biblical counseling. Readers should note that the volume argues a position on the relation of Scripture to clinical categories, and makes that argument openly. Published by B&H Academic.
