Publisher's Synopsis
This is a collection of essays and addresses given by the author in the early 1970s. In it, Jay Adams, perhaps the central figure in the nouthetic, or Biblical Counseling Movement, discusses a wide variety of subjects all dealing in some way with counselling from a biblical perspective. Dr Adams confronts and dismantles the common notion of modern psychology that all people with emotional and behavioural problems are sick, and presents instead a sound argument that sin and our rebellious nature are at the core of these issues.
