Amid the plethora of new publications on the subject of biblical counselling currently available, it would be easy to overlook the tried and trusted works which have given valuable guidance over a number of years. High on the list is this comprehensive handbook by Gary Collins, revised and rewritten in 1988 and appearing in hardback in 1993.
I was introduced to this work by my supervisor when I took my first tentative steps in counselling with Christian Guidelines, Belfast, and it has proved invaluable ever since for reference or study.
