Scripture References for Effective Counseling: The God Who Overturns Problems

This book is your first resource when you need to know how God can help someone through life challenges! Scripture Resources for Counseling compiles decades of ministry leadership into an easily accessible reference that can be used by any Christian believer. More than 800 Bible texts support Nora Fozard’s experience-based wisdom for helping people through life challenges. Her godly wisdom is gathered into brief discussions of dozens of contemporary topics, then offers you prayer and conversation guides for Word-based, Spirit-led counsel of people in need.

She doesn’t shy away from hard topics like domestic abuse and addiction, and doesn’t overlook faith basics like salvation and backsliding. She speaks candidly about spiritual challenges, like the widespread envy and loneliness that pervade our culture. She offers clarity about issues of faith that have been distorted by bad teaching, like God’s readiness to provide generously for all his people. She brings refreshing clarity to questions about self-esteem (Yes! You need it!) and how it differs from lack of humility.

As a pastor’s wife and the leader of prayer ministries at their church, Nora Fozard has trained hundreds of Christians in effective prayer counseling. In this book, she extends her knowledge to any believer who wants to be faithful in serving friends and strangers with God’s good care.

You’ll find what you need for yourself and others as you pray through chapters on family life, friends, marriage, forgiveness, finances, and aging parents. Your eyes will be opened to God’s love and power as you find strength in the Word to support people struggling with addiction, gambling, sexual sins, and even suicidal thoughts. You’ll be empowered by God’s Word and Spirit to help people find hope and peace.
