Christ-Centered Biblical Counseling: A Biblical Counseling Coalition/Harvest House Book

I’m honored to serve as one of the managing editors (and co-author of three chapters) of Christ-Centered Biblical Counseling. The following blog introducing the book is re-posted with permission from the Biblical Counseling Coalition. You can read the original post here.  

Christ-Centered Biblical Counseling

In February, we announced the Biblical Counseling Coalition and Harvest House Publishers partnership in the production of an upcoming book, Christ-Centered Biblical Counseling.

The book is scheduled to release one year from now, in April 2013. If you would like updates over the next year, please click here to sign up for our BCC email updates. 

Today we’d like to introduce you to the forty co-authors and the twenty-eight chapters in Christ-Centered Biblical Counseling. Of course, this early in production, these chapter titles are simply “working titles.”
