An Outstanding Resource for the "layman" Counselor

Paul Welter presents the idea of the everyday person acting as counselor to friends. This book was used as a text in a graduate level counseling class I took. It offers information relevant to practicing counselors or to the common person that wants to be a good friend. Having met Dr. Welter, I can attest to the fact that he is a genuine, Christian counselor that backs and believes in his ideas. I would recommend this book to anyone that wants to be a better friend.

Most sensible and useful book on the subject I've read.

This book has a wealth of practical information about communicating with and helping anyone with a problem. It is easy to read and gives clear guidelines to help determine the severity of friends' problems. It will give you good advice about giving advice and teaches many nifty skills and techniques to use when you want to help someone think through a problem. Perfect for peer counselors, lay ministers, teachers, friends, bartenders or other "gatekeepers" who care about people. Bible based. Common sense. It is so sad this book is no longer in print.
