The Journal of Biblical Counseling: Volume 25, Number 1, Winter 2007
Overview
For nearly 30 years, the Journal of Biblical Counseling (previously the Journal of Pastoral Practice) of CCEF (the Christian Counseling and Educational Foundation) has provided a forum for biblical counseling’s development and application. The journal’s mission is to develop clear thinking and effective practice in biblical counseling through articles that faithfully bring the God of truth, mercy, and power to the issues faced by ministries of counseling and discipleship.
Top Highlights
“Counseling expresses one form of one-anothering love between peers” (Page 5)
“This familial paradigm resists any paradigm for counseling that would inherently professionalize what happens. This is not an ‘expert-client’ relationship, based on the former’s expertise in supposedly neutral technique and supposedly objective theory.” (Page 3)
“Third, as healthy children continue to grow and to grow up, they specifically become able to counsel their struggling siblings. Spiritual maturity is not an end in itself, but a gift for others.” (Page 7)
“There are three reasons to do this lively, affectionate, honest ongoing counsel towards those who do not seem to ‘need counseling’. First, a growing child must continue to grow.” (Page 6)
“this relationship is characterized by freely-given love” (Page 3)
