Scripture Comes to Life in Caring for Souls: Biblical Wisdom for Counselors, Helpers, and Healers - 6100

Based on the author’s long experience as a professional counselor, student of Scripture, and minister of the gospel, Scripture Comes to Life in Caring for Souls: Biblical Wisdom for Counselors, Healers, and Helpers is a collection of insights that connect the Scriptures to the science of psychology and the art of counseling and soul care. Ruth E. Stitt brings a biblical and clinical understanding of the soul, many of the problems that afflict souls and lead them to seek help, and practices that are truth-based, ethical, and effective when ministering to them. The integration of Scripture in every chapter provides spiritual depth and godly wisdom for those engaged in helping those who are suffering. She illustrates these insights with her own story, stories and principles from the Bible related to mental health, and experiences from her practice and ministry that have been especially instructive and meaningful. Practices and principles discussed include ethical fitness, Spirit-led diagnosis, use of Scripture in counseling, confrontation, reconciliation, denial, perfectionism, and finding meaning in suffering, Problems and populations explored include depression, crises and disruptions, learned helplessness, trauma, addiction, recovery, incarceration, trafficking of children, infertility, and healing marriages after an affair. Case presentations relate to healing childhood sexual abuse, PTSD in first responders, cutting and other types of self-injury, parolees re-entering the free world, and helping couples truly connect. Additional resources include chapters on ethical boundary markers, mentoring new counselors and lay counselors, church counseling models, healing prayer ministries, and an annotated list of important influences from the past century in the realm of counseling and soul care. If you frequently sit with troubled souls seeking your care, whatever the context, you’ll find much in this book to inspire, inform, encourage, and enlighten you.
