Dr. Jay Adams defends the idea that the Bible itself, as God's Word, provides all the principles needed for understanding and engaging in holistic counseling. Using biblically directed discussion, nouthetic counseling works by means of the Holy Spirit to bring about change--both immediate and long-term--in the personality and behavior of the counselee.

There have been dramatic results. . . Not only have people's immediate problems been resolved, but there have also been solutions to all sorts of long-term problems as well." Competent to Counsel has helped thousands of pastors, students, laypersons, and Christian counselors develop: A general approach to (and theology of) Christian counseling. Specific, practical responses to particular problems useful for teaching, study, and personal application. Since its first publication in 1970, this book has gone through over thirty printings. It establishes the basis for and an introduction to a counseling approach that is being used in pastors' studies, in counseling centers, and across dining room tables throughout the country and around the world.

    A must have for Christian Couselors

    If you are going to counsel under the pretext of Christian counseling this is one of the most important book you can read.. If you believe that Christian counseling should be conducted the way the Bible teaches, this will be a great read to guide you along that path. It is a great introduction to Nouthetic counseling, establishing the difference between Biblical counseling and those methods that do not line up with what the bible teaches.This book and the follow up resource, The Christian Counselor's Manual are must haves for the Christian counselor's library.
