Churches today are filled with hurting people struggling with serious personal problems. Many pastors believe they are unprepared to deal with these serious issues, so they refer their parishioners to professional counselors. As a result, psychological terminology has invaded the church in the areas of counseling, teaching, and family life. Biblical counseling training provides very little education in psychology, and psychology training provides little or not training in the Scripture. When a Christian needs to know the practical implications of a psychological term, this book is the most biblical and understandable resource available. This book takes the mystery out of these terms, and the Bible’s teaching on each issue is clearly presented along with extensive Scripture cross-references to facilitate Bible study.
