Counseling Collection (9 Vols.)
If you are a pastor, minister, or Christian counselor, you’ve had lots of people ask you that. Is He listening, or does He not care? That’s typically their second question. The fact is many of us who receive Jesus as our Savior, continue to cling to our emotional and spiritual baggage as if they are precious gold. These nine excellent volumes show us how to loosen the strongholds that have kept us from walking with God, and kept God from sharing with us the keys to His kingdom.
