Description

Puritan writers-theologians were masters at understanding the nature of human beings and applying Scripture in practical ways to help people. Looking to Scripture as the final authority, the Puritans grounded their own counselling practices in a proper view of the sovereignty of God and the underlying heart issues of people. By understanding why people struggle and the provision God makes for our struggles, counsellors today will be better equipped to guide those they counsel toward God-appointed solutions.

Endorsements

Before there was a discipline called psychology, many Puritan authors were outstanding biblical psychologists possessed of clear insight to the human frame. Mark Deckard ably distills the essence of 17th century wisdom for 21st century counselors in areas such as God's providence, personal contentment, repentance and depression.

Michael A. Rogers, Sr. Pastor, Westminster Presbyterian Church, Lancaster, Pennsylvania

Deckard brings us into conversation with these Puritan greats and artfully displays for us their insights into life and relationships. Every Christian counselor ought to pull up a chair and listen in and learn from this conversation.

Stephen J. Nichols, President, Reformation Bible College, Sanford, Florida; author, ‘Track: A Student’s Guide to Apologetics’
