Helpful Truth in Past Places
The Puritan Practice of Biblical Counseling
Mark A. Deckard
Draws on seven Puritan classics
Deals with concepts such as fear, depression, anxiety - and more
For counselors, pastors, and anyone with an interest
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.
