Those three counselors reveal ways to clearly communicate God s grace to the victims of violence. They demonstrate how to minister with confidence and humility to the afflicted. They ask, How will you help the privately violent? We learn that violent people have much in common with others. Once you know how to deal with your own sins of anger, you can better help others who struggle with violence.

Speaking Truth In Love

The process of sanctification is personal and organic—not a one-size-fits-all formula. Many popular views try to reduce the process of Christian growth to a single template. For example, remember past grace. Rehearse your identity in Christ. Avail yourself of the means of grace. Discipline yourself. But Scripture portrays the dynamics of sanctification in a rich variety of ways. No single factor, truth, or protocol can capture why and how a person is changed into the image of Christ. Weaving together personal stories, biblical exposition, and theological reflection, David Powlison shows the personal and particular ways that God meets you where you are to produce change. He highlights the variety of factors that work together, helping us to avoid sweeping generalizations and pat answers in the search for a key to sanctification. This book is a go-to resource for understanding the multifaceted, lifelong, personal journey of sanctification.

Sexuality was a part of God’s good creation from the beginning. But with sin came a world filled with sexual brokenness. Thankfully, God is always in the business of restoration.
This book offers hope for both the sexually immoral and the sexually victimized, pointing us all to the grace of Jesus Christ, who mercifully intervenes each moment in our lifelong journey toward renewal. Author David Powlison casts a vision for the key to deep transformation, better than anything the world has to offer―not just fresh resolve, not just flimsy forgiveness, not just simple formulas, but true, lasting mercy from God, who is making all things new.

Where Is God?
There are never quick fixes or easy answers when it comes to suffering. But even when we can’t immediately see God’s hand―when the struggle is hard and painful―he is working. Weaving together Scripture, personal stories, and the words of the classic hymn “How Firm a Foundation,” David Powlison brings an experienced counselor’s touch to exploring how God enters into our sufferings, helping us see God working in our own particular struggles―and discover how God’s grace goes deeper than we could ever imagine.

God's Grace in Your Suffering

This resource, written by late counselor David Powlison, seeks to gracefully and humbly encourage pastors to think of counseling as a relational and pastoral task focused on the care and cure of the souls of God's people.

The Pastor as Counselor: The Call for Soul Care

There are plenty of secular counselors who believe there is no place for the teaching of Scripture in counseling. There are also plenty of conservative evangelical Christians who love the Bible but believe it is a revelation of limited scope, which is not sufficient for counseling. Only authentically biblical counselors believe that faithful counseling is impossible without the Bible. This book celebrates our 40th anniversary, our rich theological tradition, and our commitment to Scripture by publishing a special edition of some historic articles on sufficiency that have been published throughout the years.

If youve ever tried, failed, and wondered why, you need How People Change! When the Bible talks about the gift of a new heart, it doesn't mean a heart that is immediately perfected, but a heart that is capable of being changed. Jesus' work on the cross targets our hearts, our core desires and motivations, and when our hearts change, our behavior changes. A changed heart is the bright promise of the gospel and the goal of CCEFs How People Change by biblical counseling experts Timothy S. Lane and Paul David Tripp. How People Change explains the biblical pattern for change in a clear, practical way you can apply to the challenges of daily life. But change involves more than a biblical formula: you will see how God is at work to make you the person you were created to be. That powerful, loving, redemptive relationship is at the heart of all positive change you experience. Based on principles from the book, Lane and Tripp now offer the How People Change Study Guide for use in church-wide training, small group, Sunday school, youth group, or one-on-one discipleship settings. These materials help participants to understand the underlying motivations for their actions and give them specific, practical help in changing long-standing patterns of behavior, so they grow in love for God and others. Each of the twelve lessons includes teaching, homework discussion, CPR, Central truthPersonal applicationRelational application, detailed illustrations, group discussion guide, and ""Make It Real"" life applications.

Through the introduction, twelve sessions, and conclusion participants will be challenged to experience the deep-down change that the gospel of Jesus Christ brings and given the tools to understand the basic principles in the How People Change Study Guide. Like the study guide, the seminar is designed for church-wide training, small group, Sunday school, youth group, or one-on-one discipleship settings and includes bonus material for equipping leaders to facilitate the seminar.

English title: How Does Sanctification Work?Le processus de la sanctification est un processus éminemment personnel et organique. Il ne saurait faire l’objet d’une formule passe-partout. Un bon nombre de conceptions populaires tentent de réduire le processus de la croissance chrétienne à un modèle unique : Souvenez-vous de la grâce passée. Rappelez-vous de votre identité en Christ. Usez des moyens de la grâce. Disciplinez-vous. Mais l’Écriture présente la dynamique de la sanctification d’une multitude de façons différentes. La manière dont une personne est transformée à l’image de Christ ne peut s’expliquer par un facteur, une vérité ou un protocole unique.David Powlison nous montre les façons toutes particulières et personnelles dont Dieu intervient dans la vie des gens, là où ils sont, dans le but de les transformer. Il le fait en entremêlant des histoires vécues, des enseignements bibliques et des réflexions théologiques. Il souligne la grande diversité des facteurs qui interviennent dans ce changement, et nous aide ainsi à balayer les généralisations hâtives et les réponses toutes faites qui surgissent lorsque nous sommes à la recherche de conseils pour croître dans la sainteté. Ce livre constitue une excellente ressource pour comprendre les mille facettes du processus de sanctification – un voyage éminemment personnel qui dure toute une vie.AuteurDAVID POWLISON (Ph.
