Biblical Counseling and the Church: God's Care Through God's People (Biblical Counseling Coalition)

As People Face Addictions, Deal With Loss And Grief, And Seek Help In Restoring Broken Relationships, Where Can They Turn For Counsel And Assistance? The Local Church Has Been Uniquely Blessed With The Gift Of The Gospel And Is Able To Offer Hope And Counsel That No Other Institution On Earth Can.
