Overview

Biblical Counselors must develop two essential skills—acquiring insight into his counselees’ problem and devising creative ways to apply the truths of Scripture to that problem. Jay Adams explains why these skills are vital, but more importantly, shows how you can develop these skills. Effective counselors must grow beyond taking a “cookie-cutter” approach to counseling problems and hone the twin skills of insight and creativity in the counseling room.
