Consider Your Counsel: Addressing Ten Mistakes in Our Biblical Counseling by John D. Street and Robert D. Jones
Bright Hope Books

In Consider Your Counsel, seasoned biblical counselors John D. Street and Robert D. Jones delve into some of the most common mistakes made in biblical counseling, offering clarity and insight for counselors, pastors, and those seeking to better understand God's Word in the context of personal care and spiritual growth. This book serves as both a critical examination and a constructive guide, helping counselors correct missteps in their approach to biblical care and ministry.

Features Include:

• Identifying Common Mistakes: The authors highlight ten prevalent errors in biblical counseling, from misapplying Scripture to overlooking key aspects of human nature, and provide biblical solutions for each.
• Clear, Practical Guidance: Drawing from years of pastoral experience, Street and Jones offer accessible, practical advice on how to improve counseling practices and avoid harmful misconceptions.
• Scripturally Grounded Solutions: Every issue addressed is rooted in the truth of God’s Word, ensuring that counselors are equipped to provide spiritually sound, Christ-centered guidance.

Why This Book Stands Out:

• Informed by Experience: Both authors bring decades of experience in biblical counseling, offering readers a trustworthy, informed perspective on how to engage in counseling that reflects God’s heart and truth.
• Scripture-Centered Approach: Every chapter emphasizes the importance of grounding counseling in the Bible, ensuring that the Word of God is the ultimate source of wisdom, healing, and counsel.
• Equips for Better Counseling: Whether you're a seasoned counselor or just starting out, Consider Your Counsel provides the tools to correct and refine your approach, ultimately fostering healthier, more biblically sound relationships with those you counsel.

Consider Your Counsel is an invaluable resource for anyone involved in counseling ministry, offering not only a critique of common counseling pitfalls but also practical, biblical solutions that will help bring lasting change.
