Is scripture sufficient to inform every possible counseling situation in this fallen world? Powerful, true accounts of the sufficiency of God’s word in seemingly hopeless situations. Each is a testament to how scripture guides people to help others with desperate problems, and brings healing into broken situations.

Biblical counselors have worked for decades to demonstrate that God’s resources in Scripture are sufficient to help people with their counseling-related problems. In Counseling the Hard Cases, editors Stuart Scott and Heath Lambert use the true stories of real patients to show how the truths of God’s Word can be released to bring help, hope, and healing into the lives of those who struggle with some of the most difficult psychiatric diagnoses.

From pastors and academics to physicians and psychiatrists, a world-class team of contributing counselors share accounts of Scripture having helped overcome bipolar, dissociative identity, and obsessive compulsive disorders, postpartum depression, panic attacks, addiction, issues from childhood sexual abuse, homosexuality, and more.

The book also shows how the graces of Christ, as revealed in the Bible, brought powerful spiritual change to the lives of such people who seemed previously burdened beyond hope by mental and emotional roadblocks.

Includes a Foreword by John MacArthur

“While man books have argued for the sufficiency of Scripture, few have demonstrated sufficiency by showing what it looks like in real-life problems. That is why Counseling the Hard Cases will be a valuable resource for both counselors and pastors -- it will show that God's Word is fully adequate to address life's hardest problems.”

“Counseling the Hard Cases is an excellent example of how to do biblical counseling that is both true to God's Word and practically relevant to the complex issues behind the fallen human heart. I commend all these competent counselors for giving us tremendous insight into helping people gain much hope and help for their spiritual lives. I especially appreciated the contributor's singular commitment to the sufficiency and superiority of Scripture in counseling. May this book be greatly used by counselors, for their counselees, and in the teaching of counseling.”
