Experiencing the Heart of Pastoral Counselling

In this comprehensive guide book on the heart of pastoral counselling, the author delves into areas where God's deep transformation is anticipated in the readers' lives. She reveals how God sees us as we are with all our hang-ups which affect our personal and interpersonal relationships. As we allow God to work in us and draw us closer to Him, we shall be more prepared to be His channel of grace to help others deal with their inner spiritual, mental and emotional traumas. This book is best used when the reader, on his own or with a few friends, prayerfully reads and reflects on each chapter at a time — pondering, journaling, crying, praying, laughing and being changed — with Jesus by his side.
