Biblical Counseling

Presented by the Word for Today, Biblical Counseling: A topical index for Christian living is one of Pastor Chuck Smith's newer books. It is a compilation of over 200 topics such as: depression, suicide, addiction, forgiveness, loneliness, temptation, and many others. 

Each topic is listed alphabetically and contains Pastor Chuck Smith's commentary with illustrations to explain clearly and simply what God has to say.

Also included in each section is a list of Scripture references that pertain to each topic, categorizing them as:

Gods Perspective: How God views a situation; His commandments for or against it.
Gods Promises: What God will do for someone who chooses to obey His Word.
How to Make a Change: How a person can live in a way that pleases God.
Biblical Examples: Events and characters in the Bible that portray the topic.
Prayers Found in the Bible: Actual prayers as an example or pattern to emulate.

When people came to Pastor Chuck distraught and heartbroken, seeking his counsel for their personal dilemma, he simply replied, The best thing I can do is give you Gods Word rather than my own thoughts or opinions. When you need guidance, when mans counsel has left you confused and discouraged, go to the Word of God because God has already given you His counsel.
