Debilitated and Diminished what others are saying:

The biblical principles that Dr. Anne Dryburgh shares in "Debilitated and Diminished" are tried and true. In her book is a clear and concise breakdown of biblical principles, along with great practical applications to help women suffering under emotional abuse. Chapter 4 is also a valuable resource, as it covers the role of the church and how to come alongside and be a friend to the abused wife. Even though "Debilitated and Diminished" is full of deep and profound truth, it's an easy read. As I said... clear and concise! Whether you're in ministry, or a friend of someone suffering under emotional abuse, this book would be a great tool for your tool belt! And, even though this book is geared towards helping the emotionally abused wife; many of the principles could apply to emotional abuse occuring in different dynamics. We have requested that anyone in a leadership role, within our church read this book. It is so important to be united in our approach to helping these women and their families! I highly recommend this book!

A Small Book About a Big Problem Ed Welch

Every day of our lives we are surrounded by anger. From impatient drivers, to impatient people in a line, to conflict in personal relationships, anger is everywhere. In the counselling work that I do, I see the damage that anger does in the lives of countless people. Thankfully, many excellent books have been written about this subject that have been of invaluable help in counseling. A Small Book About a Big Problem by Ed. Welch is such a book. Yet it is different to any other that I have read. It contains fifty meditations about anger with the purpose of helping the reader gain a heart of wisdom. Being written as meditations means that the reader can mull over the teaching on the subject and let it penetrate into his or her life. Welch defines anger as judging others as guilty and being easy on self, and argues that we need to judge self and run to wisdom while being a humble servant of Jesus and others. As I read the book, I could see four broad areas that were covere...

Biblical Counseling and Mental Illness

In counseling, we often find ourselves confronted with the question:  Which issues are spiritual problems and which are not? Are people suffering because of physical or because of spiritual problems?  What about “mental illness”?  What is “weakness”? When should we talk of sin? We need to know: What issues is the Bible and “Biblical Counseling” sufficient for?  What are our opportunities and what are our limits? Wrong answers and approaches to these questions have led to much pain in the practice of counseling. At our NBS-Conference 2018 we want to address these important issues. Our  speakers  are:  Dr. Heath Lambert , pastor, professor, author, and director of ACBC, as well as  Dr. Charles Hodges  and  Dr. Dan Wickert , two medical doctors who pursue both their medical practices, as well as biblical counseling. Both have dealt extensively with this area of study and are known for their work through lectures and publications. D...
