This book will prepare the Biblical counselor to aid people facing the many types of crisis situations that they inevitably will encounter in a world of sin. The counselor will be shown how to help in three vital areas:

· To make a biblical analysis of the crisis situation

· To take a personal inventory of his state, attitudes, behavior, and resources.

· To follow biblical directions in responding to the issues in the crisis situation.

Dr. Adams demonstrates how to apply Biblical concern wisely and productively. He concludes the book with ten sample cases that may be used by students, either individually or in a class, to provide practice in applying the biblical principles of crisis counseling presented in the book. Questions and answers for role play accompany each case.

Vintage Jay Adams, brimming with biblical hope and practical insight. Counselors will find his God-centered perspective in this book valuable in assessing the situation and in guiding those in crisis.

This is a unique resource that offers biblical wisdom for counseling in crises. Specific practical steps are presented in a memorable way. What makes this book unique is the call to see the centrality of God's purposes in the crises people face. The book concludes with ten realistic case studies that could be used in role-play. Read this book before you need it!

Adams' teaching challenged a whole new generation of Christians to trust God's Word, ministered by those skilled in providing crisis counseling directly from that Word.
