Counseling Teens: Biblical Wisdom for Today's Young People - Paperback

by Kristin L. Kellen (Author)

With Scripture as the foundation, this book approaches common struggles that teens face from their unique, contemporary perspective, giving a general overview of the problem, what the Bible has to say about it, then a robust, holistic approach to counseling the young person. It also provides some theological foundations that drive a biblical counseling approach, specifically the Bible's teaching on who we are as people (specifically teens), the role of sin and brokenness, the place of Scripture to speak to life's struggles in an authoritative way, and the developmental and cultural realities of today's teens. Also, like Counseling Women, this book will intentionally consider secular practice, filtering them through Scripture's teachings but will seek to provide a wise, balanced approach to counsel.
