Counsel Yourself and Others from the Bible

This has been a wonderful book to turn to when I need biblical counsel. Dr. Bob Moorehead is a wonderful writer and counseler. I recommend it to my friend but it is very hard to find because it is out of print.

Counseling Yourself & Others from the Bible by Bob Moorehead is a simply written valuable resource to turn to for good scriptural references and biblically based suggestions to help yourself, friends or clients who come to you seeking comfort, advice or direction. The book focuses on the 33 most common problems including topics such as abortion, backsliding, depression, doubting one's salvation, gambling, homosexuality, inferiority, lust, suicide, marriage problems, anxiety, bitterness and anger. For each of the 33 areas covered in his book, Moorehead gives an example of a client or a friend with a problem or question. The example is followed by a discussion that might include suggested reasons or causes of the behavior, consequences of the behavior, or anything applicable to the particular problem. In each subject area Moorehead provides scripture references with discussions as to how they apply and also an additional list of "biblical counsel" to read and apply. Moorehead admits that the book may seem simplistic but encourages everyone going through rough or troubling times to turn to God's Word first. Moorehead is a pastor who has biblically counseled people for 44 years. He believes the Bible is fully inspired and authoritative, the Bible's truths do not change, nor end, and that the solutions to life's deepest problems are in the Bible.
