The companion book study for The Voice of the Heart.
In 2001, The Voice of the Heart began a steady journey into the lives of those looking for more. Since its initial release, The Voice of the Heart has been handed one friend to another and has helped thousands of people begin to speak the truth of their story and to live more fully from the heart. Chip Dodd invites us to begin to know our hearts so that we better know ourselves and can live fully in relationship with others and, ultimately, with God. The journey begins with discovering the gift of The Eight Feelings(TM). We have eight feelings that allow us to live fully in a tragic place-hurt, lonely, sad, anger, fear, shame, guilt, and glad. By listening to these eight God-given tools, we can be who we are made to be, so we can do what we are made to do. Chip Dodd passionately and wisely invites us to the spiritual discipline of listening to our hearts and to the call of God that echoes in every emotion. -Dan Allender, Professor of Counseling Psychology at The Seattle School, Author of The Wounded Heart, To Be Told, and Leading With a Limp. The Bible tells us that the heart 'is the wellspring of life.' In this thoughtful book, Chip Dodd [reveals] how our spiritual heart functions and how we can discover more of the life Christ offers. I'm confident that many will find his insights helpful and even life-changing. -Franklin Graham, President, Samaritan's Purse and Christian Evangelist.
Eight gospel-centered strategies for overcoming the lure of pornography and finally breaking free.
This book is not about pornography. You won't find graphic depictions about the porn industry, the catastrophic effects it has on individuals and relationships, or how to think differently about porn. If you're reading this book, you probably have some understanding of those things already--the last thing you need is to be subjected to that kind of detail...again.
Finally Free is about hope. It's about discovering the freeing power available to those who trust in Jesus Christ, who can, will, and does set people free from the power of pornography.
Dr. Heath Lambert, a leader in the biblical counseling movement, has organized this book around eight clear and practical tactics you can wield to make it easier to flee lust and temptation and shelter in the protection of God's grace. Each chapter:
If you've struggled personally against the powerful draw of pornography, or if you've ever tried to help someone fighting this battle, you know how hard it is to break its bonds. But there is good news: no matter how intense or long-standing the struggle, Jesus Christ has the power to free people from the enslaving power of pornography.
The Gospel has a power that works practically in the lives of those who seek to imitate Christ--and you can learn how to live into that power.
Winner of the ECPA Christian Living Book of the Year Award
Our emotions are complex. Some of us seem able to ignore our feelings, while others feel controlled by them. But most of us would admit that we don't always know what to do with how we feel.
The Bible teaches us that our emotions are an indispensable part of what makes us human--and play a crucial role in our relationships with God and others. Exploring how God designed emotions for our good, this book shows us how to properly engage with our emotions--even the more difficult ones like fear, anger, shame, guilt, and sorrow--so we can better understand what they reveal about our hearts and handle them wisely in everyday moments.

Lord, do you not care if we perish?
That's what the frightened disciples shouted to Jesus as he slept in the stern of a storm-tossed boat. In the midst of suffering and uncertainty, we're all prone to think that God has forgotten us, he doesn't care, or he's powerless to do anything.
In Christ and Calamity, Harold L. Senkbeil speaks pastorally to our suffering and uncertainty. Senkbeil shows God's constant and faithful grace to us. With Paul he encourages us: Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you (1 Thess 5:16-18).
Calamities come in many different sizes, and God addresses them all in his word and by his Spirit. Even when we don't see or feel it, God is always faithful.
If I dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me (Ps 139:9-10).
The disciples' faith in the midst of the storm may have been weak, but Jesus was mighty to save. And he will save you, too. No matter how small your faith, you can count on him to hear your anguished cry and to answer.
An excellent book that covers the wide variety and deep complexity of seemingly impossible biblical counseling issues in the challenging culture in which we live. The gospel brings liberty to men, women, and children bound by every conceivable sin and affliction. Psychology provides a tool for applying the power of the gospel in practical ways. Drawing on biblical truths and psychological principles, Counseling for Seemingly Impossible Problems helps us--Christian counselors, pastors, and church leaders--to meet the deep needs of our communities with life-changing effects. Marshaling the knowledge and experience of experts in the areas of addiction, family issues, mental health, and other critical issues, this no-nonsense handbook supplies insights on the problems tearing lives and families apart all around us: domestic abuse, gambling addiction, blended families, sexual addiction and the Internet, depression and bipolar disorder, divorce recovery, unemployment, sexual abuse and incest, demonology, grief and loss, schizophrenia, substance abuse ... and much more.
This book is a trilogy in which Dr. Adams leads both the novice and experienced
counselor through the three key counseling sessions (or stages) which are common
to the entire counseling process.
Getting Started: The First Session
What you do in the first session will set the tone for what follows--for good or for
ill. If done well, it will help the counselee to gain confidence in your minister to
him and, more importantly, in the Word of God and the God of the Word.
Breaking Through: The Turning Point
The turning point in counseling sessions is that point at which the counselor sees the
beginning of appreciable, observable change--a change of knowledge, of
understanding, of determination, of conviction, or of commitment. A turning point is
crucial because true Christian change--of the sort that pleases God--always
involves a closer approximation of the thoughts and life of the counselee to the
ways of God presented in the Scriptures.
Finishing Well: Termination
This final section concerns those basic issues that have to do with closing out a series
of counseling sessions--how to know when, how to do it, and how to follow up.
Psalms on Anxiety and Depression: God's Toolbox for Mental Health by Lauren Bassford is a 13-lesson workbook considering how the psalms address the problems of anxiety and depression.
The Christian Counselor's Manual is a companion and sequel to Dr. Jay Adams' influential Competent to Counsel, which first laid out a vision of nouthetic counseling--a strictly biblical approach to behavioral counseling and therapy.
This practical guide takes the approach of nouthetic counseling introduced in the earlier volume and applies it to a wide range of issues, topics, and techniques in counseling, including:
These and hundreds more questions are answered and explained from a biblical perspective in this comprehensive resource.
A full set of indexes, a detailed table of contents, and a full complement of diagrams and forms make this a classic reference book for biblical counseling.
In this six-session video Bible study (streaming included), New York Times bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst offers a safe place to share your disappointments, fresh biblical insight to get you through painful situations, and life-giving perspectives for living between Eden and eternity.
Life often looks very different than we hoped or expected. Some events may simply catch us off guard for a moment, but others shatter us completely. At times like these, it's easy to feel disappointed and disillusioned and to wonder about the reality of God's goodness.
So what do you do when God's timing seems questionable, his lack of intervention hurtful, and his promises doubtful?
Lysa understands this deeply. But she's also discovered that our disappointments can be the divine appointments our souls need to radically encounter God. In this video Bible study, Lysa invites small groups and individuals into her own journey of faith. With vulnerability and honest humor, she helps us:
This study guide has everything you need for a full Bible study experience, including:

The Twelve Steps of Recovery: Success in Recovery Through a Faith-Based Journey presents a fresh new look at The Twelve Steps with a blend of recovery principles and a biblical faith-based perspective on each of The Twelve Steps. One reason The Twelve Steps are so successful is because they go beyond just recovery and include a spiritual experience with God. This book expands on this spiritual perspective so that you can be successful in recovery, grow in your faith, and have a brand new life.
The Twelve Steps of Recovery: Success in Recovery Through a Faith-Based Journey is also a great resource for churches, recovery ministries, and facilities that want to make faith-based recovery resources available to their members in an easy-to-read book format.
Aging with Grace by the Power of the Gospel
Whatever season of life you're in, God has equipped you to flourish--to live in the transforming power and beauty of his grace. As we age, we can easily lose sight of this message as cultural ideals glorifying youth take center stage.
In this book, Sharon W. Betters and Susan Hunt offer present-day and biblical examples of women who rediscovered gospel-rooted joy later in their lives. Equipped with a biblical view of aging, Aging with Grace will help you encounter afresh the gospel that is big enough, good enough, and powerful enough to make every season of life significant and glorious.
Connecting sound biblical doctrine to the practice of effective counseling.
Jay E. Adams--vocal advocate of a strictly biblical approach to counseling and author of the highly influential book Competent to Counsel--firmly believes that the Bible itself provides all the principles needed for understanding and engaging in holistic counseling.
But in order to bring the practice of counseling--whether by professional therapists or by the church--under biblical guidance, we first have to deepen our understanding of Scripture.
A Theology of Christian Counseling is the connection between solid theology (the study of God) and its practical application. Each of its sections are devoted to increasing our understanding of counseling's potential by looking at it through the lens of doctrines such as:
No counseling system that is based on some other foundation can begin to offer what Christian counseling offers...No matter what the problem is, no matter how greatly sin has abounded, the Christian counselor's stance is struck by the far-more-abounding nature of the grace of Jesus Christ in redemption. What a difference this makes in counseling! (Jay E. Adams).
With this book, you'll gain insight into the rich theological framework that supports and directs your approach to how you help people change.
