The need for pastoral counseling in the local church appears to be growing rapidly. Yet, few pastors have received adequate training in the field of counseling. In addition, there is a dearth of Scriptural based materials that a pastor may study and use in order to have the basic tools for counseling.
Many of the books written in recent years have little practical value to the average pastor. In fact, some of the proposed methods and techniques are not only inadequate but unbiblical and sometimes dangerous for the counselee. It is a fact of life today that Christians may be affected with all the sinful practices and maladies to which human flesh is heir and that we will retain this potential until the day we are received into glory.
