  You speak God’s truth when you counsel. But do you also communicate His grace?The  Christian counselor or pastor plays an important role in helping people process the trauma they’ve experienced. Too  often, a client leaves the counselor’s office with feelings of guilt and shame. They feel the heavy burden of what  they did wrong. But somehow, they’ve missed the grace of God that makes things right again.A counseling model  that stays true to a biblical worldview will overflow with grace . . . not cheap grace, but real grace that acknowledges  sin while offering a hopeful path to redemption and healing. In Grace-Based Counseling, professional counselors  Richard Fowler and Natalie Ford offer a model that blends the truths of Scripture, the science of psychology, and the everlasting  hope of the gospel. In this book you will find:New, grace-based counseling modelDetailed application  of the model, with case studiesPractical toolbox with surveys, assessments, and counseling helps 
  A  Christian counseling model can’t just be about admonishment. That approach only leads to shame and human efforts that  are doomed to fail. But when the gospel is brought to bear in the counseling relationship, real life change is possible.  Then the counselor becomes an instrument of divine grace in the hands of a faithful God.
