Books like Effective Biblical Counseling by Dr. Larry Crabb

In 1850 California’s gold country, a young woman sold into prostitution learns redemption when a devout man offers unconditional love, challenging her bitterness and redefining her hope for a new life.

The Word on help, hope, and healing. Biblical counselors have worked for decades to demonstrate that God's resources in Scripture are sufficient to help people with their problems when counseling is needed. In Counseling the Hard Cases, editors Stuart Scott and Heath Lambert use the true stories of real people to show how the truths of God's Word can be released to bring help, hope, and healing into the lives of those who struggle with some of the most difficult psychiatric diagnoses. From pastors and academics to physicians and psychiatrists, a world-class team of contributing counselors share accounts of how Scripture helped people struggling with bipolar, dissociative identity disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, postpartum depression, panic attacks, addiction, issues from childhood sexual abuse, homosexuality, and more. The book also shows how the grace of Christ, as revealed in the Bible, brought powerful spiritual change to the lives of such people who seemed previously burdened beyond hope by mental and emotional roadblocks. - Back cover.
