It’s a Book! Christ-Centered Biblical Counseling Has Arrived
Yesterday I received in the mail from Harvest House Publishers the hot-off-the-presses 
first copy of Christ-Centered Biblical Counseling.
I had the privilege of serving as one of the managing editors of the book, and of co-authoring three chapters, the introduction, and the conclusion.
Christ-Centered Biblical Counseling is a Biblical Counseling Coalition book. Forty leading pastors, educators, and counselors committed to biblical counseling collaborated in the writing of this foundation work on the theology and methodology of biblical counseling.
Christ-Centered Biblical Counseling will be released to the general public in late February. You will be able to order copies at my RPM Ministries Bookstore at 35% off. If you’d like to be placed on a list for pre-ordered copies at 35% off, just email RPM Ministries: rpm.ministries@gmail.com and include the subject line: Pre-Order Request. When the book releases we’ll email you the link for the RPM Bookstore sale price.
Today we’d like to introduce you to the forty co-authors and the twenty-eight chapters in Christ-Centered Biblical Counseling.
Tomorrow I’ll share with you some of the endorsements for the book.
