Product Description

The Quick Scripture Reference for Counseling was first published in March 1988. While its primary intention was to help counselors and pastors, over the years laypersons have also found it indispensable in helping them meet their personal needs as well as mold their personal and family devotions.

This revised and expanded edition is specially designed to help people use the Scriptures more effectively in their lives. Scripture quotations are from the popular NIV. Scripture passages on each of the practical topics are thoughtfully arranged in a numbered list so that users can see their significance at a glance. Users have all the pertinent Bible passages at their fingertips when they need them most.

Outstanding a must have book!!
The Quick Scripture Reference For Counseling is a excellent book. I carry this book with me every were I go. When things go wrong at work,or in my personal life, or just life's problems in general, I simply pull out this quick reference guide. Locate the subject that applies to the giving situation that I'm currently experiencing at that time and things always turn out for the better. To me it's God's way of providing me guidance and advise through life's various situations.

Wonderful Book!!!
This is a book that Christians of all walks of life need. I am not a Christian counselor (yet), but I have used this book on several occasions. It provides a concise list of Scripture on a variety of subjects. I highly recommend it to anyone who believes the Word of God is applicable to life as we are living it today!

Practical Tool for Biblical Counseling
The third edition of "The Quick Scripture Reference for Counseling" uses the NIV, organizing pertinent passages according to topics useful for pastors, counselors, and lay people in helping others to grow spiritually. With this well-organized tools, spiritual friends can develop the art of scriptural exploration where they explore with their "counselees" how a specific passage relates to their lives. They can also use biblical "trialogues" in which the counselor, counselee, and the Holy Spirit through God's Word form a three-way spiritual relationship. John Kruis has produced a must-use volume.
