description: Against “Biblical Counseling”: For the Bible is a readable, challenging, controversial, and thought-provoking book about the rapidly expanding biblical counseling movement. This book gives reasons why Christians should abandon the biblical counseling movement and calls Christians back to the Bible and to biblically ordained ministries and mutual care in the Body of Christ.Christians often think they cannot minister God’s grace and wisdom to fellow believers because they have not been trained in psychology. Now many think they cannot minister personal mutual care to fellow believers, because they are not trained specifically in biblical counseling. Others have said they feel much more secure counseling fellow believers after having taken a class and having a manual to use. Thus increasing numbers of pastors and lay people are seeking training in biblical counseling, when what they really need is knowledge of the Word, understanding the Word, personal obedience to the Word, and confidence to discard all counseling and to use the whole armor of God.
