Presuppositions of Biblical Counseling (Lou Priolo)
What counselors presuppose will ultimately dictate their philosophy and methodology of counseling. Historical biblical counselors presuppose only that which the Bible affirms. In Presuppositions of Biblical Counseling, Lou Priolo unpacks twelve presuppositions (originally postulated by Jay E. Adams) to help readers understand what sets biblical counseling apart from other theories (really, theologies) of counseling. It will also help those who are in counseling (or seeking counseling) determine if the counselors from whom they are seeking help are truly biblical.

The Biblical Counseling Movement After Adams (Heath Lambert)
Those inside and outside of the biblical counseling movement recognize growing differences between the foundational work of Jay Adams and that of current thought leaders such as David Powlison.

Find out how the biblical counseling movement has changed and improved and how the present-day leadership differs from the leadership of the past, in a respectful effort to evaluate and advance the efficacy of biblical counseling.

Curing the Heart: A Model for Biblical Counseling (Howard Eyrich)
An ideal textbook for anyone involved or interested in Christian counselling. Both the authors teach the subject at a theological seminary in the States. Their influencers include Jay Adams, a leading Christian psychologist, and Francis Schaeffer.
Section 1 helps to make a case for a different style of counselling, based on the Bible and on Christian principles. Only a Biblical framework can explain the “why?” of human behavior. The approach is therefore holistic as it tackles the heart of the human problem – the problem of the human heart.
