Fervent Servant: Divinely Prepared to Counsel: Navigating the Essentials of Biblical Counseling

By Douglas John Carragher Th.D.

The new standard in the field of Christian counseling, "Fervent Servant: Divinely Prepared to Counsel. - Navigating the Essentials of Biblical Counseling" is the first work not only covering all the essentials of counseling, but the first to include essentials for online counseling, fully articulating the vision of "nouthetic" counseling-which is a strictly biblical approach to behavioral counseling and therapy. Dr. Doug Carragher presents and defends the idea that the Bible itself, as God's Word, is all sufficient and provides all the principles needed for understanding and engaging in holistic counseling. Using biblically directed discussions, nouthetic counseling works by means of the Holy Spirit to bring about change-both immediate and long-term-in the personality and behavior of the counselee. As he points out in his book, "Biblical counseling goes beyond fixing issues; it's like being a spiritual mentor, helping people grow and become more like Christ." Dr. Carragher's last book "Wounded Spirits, A biblical Approach to PTSD" has helped thousands of pastors, students, laypersons, and Christian counselors develop: A general approach to (and theology of) Christian counseling helping those with trauma. Specific, practical responses to particular problems useful for Bible teaching, Bible study, and personal application for a better life. Since its first publication in 2014, this book has sold tens of thousands. It establishes the basis for and an introduction to a counseling approach for trauma that is being used in pastors' studies, in counseling centers, and across dining room tables throughout the country and around the world.
