Importance of Faith in Counseling by Jay Adams

Is your counseling “mixed with faith,” as the writer of Hebrews put it? Of course you want your counselee to have faith. But do you believe God can really change your counselee? If you do not, then your counseling will be unbiblical, moralistic, and ineffective. Faith is essential to the solution of spiritual problems—your counselee’s faith in God and your faith in God. Without faith, it is impossible to please God. Recognizing this, it is important to know the biblical “ins and outs” of faith. In this volume, you will learn what it means to counsel with faith for results that faith produces and help grow greater faith in counselees.
