Presuppositions of Biblical Counseling (Lou Priolo)
$12.49What 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 Heart of Anger: Practical Help for the Prevention and Cure of Anger in Children (Lou Priolo)
$13.75Anger! Is it ever a problem in your home? Do your children ever speak to you in angry, disrespectful tones? Or do they fight between themselves? Have you ever lost your patience when dealing with an infuriating situation? If you honestly answered “yes” to any of those questions, you could use this book. Of course Christian families experience episodes of frustration and anger. Here’s a book that goes beyond the external manifestations of anger and deals with the internal source: the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

Pleasing People: How not to be an “approval junkie” (Lou Priolo)
$12.75Full of Scripture and challenging to the reader, Pleasing People takes aim at a problem common in all of us: the desire to be liked by others. But the book also wisely delineates when pleasing people is biblical. The penetrating exercises throughout the text will help readers see how this sin manifests itself in their lives. Useful for both personal reading and for group study.
Do you worry what other people think of you? Do you avoid conflicts rather than trying to resolve them? Are you afraid to share the gospel because you fear being criticized or rejected?
When we long for the approval of men over the approval of God, we are not only neglecting God but also replacing him with a cheap substitute. Our pride drives us to value our reputation, fear rejection, and ultimately forfeit the peace of God that comes from standing up and suffering for the truth.

Bitterness: The Root that Pollutes (Lou Priolo)
$6.29When people treat you wrongly, insult you, or are outright sinful to you, how do you react? Are you satisfied to hold grudges against those who wrong you, as long as they don’t lead to action?

Lou Priolo focuses on that battle in this vital booklet that seeks to weed out the problem of bitterness. By offering a biblical definition and identifying its outward signs, the author equips you to recognize bitterness in your own life, and he lays out a scriptural plan to ensure victory by repaying others’ evil with good.

Discontentment: Why Am I So Unhappy (Lou Priolo)
$5.99Even among Christians, discontentment is a pervasive problem, and can be the root of the lingering unhappiness we often feel. Learn to identify discontentment in your own life, and cultivate true contentment God’s way.
“Discontentment among Christians is a far bigger problem than we either realize or acknowledge. Lou Priolo puts his discerning finger right on the real issues and helps us ask probing questions designed to reveal our troubled consciences’ covetousness and idolatry. He clearly shows that at the root of our lack of contentment lies a believer who isn’t fully satisfied with God and His bountiful provisions. May we take the message of this booklet to heart so that we may be genuinely content in Christ.”

The Complete Husband (Lou Priolo)
$15.95An outstanding Biblical manual for a man to learn how to love his wife! The Apostle Peter’s counsel to live with your wife in an understanding way is explained here, helping husbands to be kind and tender with the authority given them. This is a fabulous book to encourage husbands to have the kind of Christian marriage God intended.
Author Lou Priolo turns his years of biblical counseling wisdom to the subject of being a husband: the type of husband that the Lord Jesus Christ wants all Christian men to be. The author reminds men that if they wished their wives came with an owner’s manual, they did; it’s called the Bible! Far from giving men carte blanche to order their wives around, Priolo shows men how the Bible instructs them to “know their wives.” After all, wives have dreams, goals, desires – and sorrows, just like men. It is the husband’s job to find out what they are and “cultivate” his wife so that she becomes spiritually fertile.

Judgments: Rash or Righteous (Lou Priolo)
$6.29“Judge not, lest you be judged” is perhaps the most frequently quoted verse of the Bible: even though people have no idea what it means. Most of those who quote it entirely miss the point. The Bible does not forbid making judgments. On the contrary, a wise Christians shows a growing and improving discernment that knows how to judge situations, and even people, according to God’s Word.
In this booklet, Lou Priolo tackles this difficult issue, making the distinction between rash and sinful judgments, and righteous, godly ones. You can learn how to “judge”, using sound standards from God’s Word, rather than your own.
Lou provides a survey of when it is and isn’t lawful for believers to make judgments. He also identifies eight different forms of rash judgments and then offers nine guidelines for replacing snap judgments with righteous judgments.
