Overview

A Shepherd’s Guide to Counseling Fundamentals was written to help equip ministers to respond to the counseling needs of the members of the congregation in a godly and effective manner. While individuals frequently seek out ministers to assist with counseling issues, many ministers have limited training about counseling strategies and techniques.

The purpose of this book is to provide a brief overview of the counseling process and the different types of counseling interventions. It is intended to be an introduction to counseling for ministers rather than focusing on techniques or strategies.

Included is a glossary at the end of the book that provides a listing of terms used in this book and additional terms that are commonly used in counseling to help the reader learn the language of counseling.

A Shepherds Guide to Counseling Fundamentals has 8 chapters and 95 pages.
