How Christ Changes Lives

Everyone talks about the personal ministry of the Word, but how do we make one-another ministry truly biblical? Gospel-Centered Counseling equips readers to change lives with Christ’s changeless truth. It does so by examining life’s seven ultimate questions and then guiding readers on a journey that explores the biblical, gospel-centered narrative of:

• The Word: “What is truth?” “Where can I find answers?”
• The Trinity: “Who is God?” “Can I know Him personally?”
• Creation: “Who am I?” “What makes people tick?”
• Fall: “What went wrong?” “Why do we do the things we do?”
• Redemption: “Can I change?” “How do people change?”
• Glorification: “Where am I headed?” “How does our future destiny impact our present reality?”
• Sanctification: “How can I help?” “How can I change lives?"

Bob Kellemen builds on the foundation of the written Word and provides a gospel-centered resource for understanding people, diagnosing problems, and prescribing biblically-based solutions.

Gospel-Centered Counseling is the first volume in The Equipping Christian Counselors Series, a comprehensive relational training curriculum for the local church that provides a model for equipping God’s people to change lives with Christ’s changeless truth. This two-volume series weaves together comprehensive biblical insight with compassionate Christian engagement.

Gospel-Centered Counseling offers practical and accessible training to lay leaders, small group leaders, and students, equipping them in a comprehensive and compassionate approach to biblical counseling ministry. Part of the Equipping Christian Counselors Series, this resource promotes spiritual growth and life transformation centered on the Person of Christ through the personal ministry of the Word.
