When Friends Ask for Help: Biblical Advice on Counseling Friends in Need

Dr. Harold Sala offers practical, biblical advice for "coffee cup counseling"--discussion between friends within a casual setting. Using the Bible as a guide, Sala offers ideas on helping friends identify the problems they face and recognize their options and leading them gently toward God's will. Though the author understands that there will be occasions when professional counseling is necessary, he offers Bible-based insights on issues such as anger, fear, worry, depression, substance abuse, and sexual addictions. The philosophy of Coffee Cup Counseling is summed up in the title of its first chapter: "You Can Help People!", even over a cup of coffee at your kitchen table.Harold J. Sala is the author of 'When Friends Ask for Help: Biblical Advice on Counseling Friends in Need', published 2000 under ISBN 9781577488095 and ISBN 1577488091.
