Review of Effective Biblical Counseling: A Model for Helping Caring Christians Become Capable Couns
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
The book was purchased for a class I took at my church. I think the book is perfect for an indepth study of Christian Counseling. My class only lasted 8 weeks, so we didn't really have time to delve into it. I would recommend the book to any counseling student.
All Around an Excellent Book

Larry Crabb has written a book that will be on the desk's of counselor's for years. Like the classics of C.S. Lewis (Mere Chrisitanity), and others, this book will continue to capture counselors of all types. The book is well written, and unlike many other books on counseling, the applications to counseling is not limited to a time-frame, or new knowledge. The practical approach for biblical counselors, pastors, and lay counselors will prove itself to be effective and accurate. Crabb does an excellent job of framing a counselor in all areas of the needs of the counselor and counselee. Although this is not an exhaustive work, it is complete in equipping those that desire to take the first steps to Biblical Counseling.
Very readable - powerful concepts

Dr. Crabb does a good job a presenting his case for powerful Christian counseling. Readers should remember that this is Dr. Crabb's opinion and observation - not the Bible itself. He does a wonderful job of crafting the structures of counseling and how the church should (and is obligated) to participate fully in the healing needs of its members. Congratulations and thanks for a job well done!

Crabb's approach is unique in the Christian world and very effective. This book sets out his general approach but his later books fill out the practical outworkings.
