This book contains essays by John MacArthur, Harry Reeder, Lou Priolo, and many other accomplished Christian leaders about how to do that kind of biblical ministry. The contributors are among the many preachers, teachers, counselors, and countless others who have appreciated Jay’s profound but always practical instruction from the Word.

For almost fifty years Dr. Jay Adams was at the forefront of a movement calling pastors and other Christian workers back to the Scriptures in their counseling ministry. Beginning with the publication of his book Competent to Counsel in 1970, Dr. Adams demonstrated the importance of understanding the sufficiency of the Word to bring about the kind of change that pleases God and genuinely helps the counselee. Dr. Adams devoted his life to teaching others how to effectively minister the Word as an author, seminary professor, denominational executive, popular lecturer, and as a pastor.

Jay Adams has served in many different roles: pastor, church planter, denominational executive, seminary professor, author, counselor, and lecturer, to name a few. This massive collection of resources from Adams brings together the broad scope of his life's work, addressing topics such as homiletics and sermon preparation, counseling, biblical commentaries, discipleship and spiritual formation, church ministry, and theological studies.
