A must read for counselors

Curing the Heart gives counselors a step by step adaptable method for counseling. It even includes forms that will help your practice. A well written book that enlightens and encourages.

A Practical Tool for Biblical Counselors

Curing the Heart is a wonderful, concise overview of the methodology of counseling that is biblical. This work outlines the process of helping people with the struggles of life from the perspective of God's Word. This process includes coming alongside, giving hope, gathering data, defining the problem biblically, teaching the truth of the Word, seeking a commitment, giving good homework, and helping people become a functioning member of the body of Christ. This book is a great read and a handy reference!

The Bible is Sufficient

"Curing the Heart" is an excellent primer for Biblical Counseling. This book demonstrates that, for the Christian, the Bible is an adequate source for counseling totally apart from any secular psyhological methods, especially since the fields of psychology and psychiatry are in direct opposition to the Christian faith. Those who counsel Christians will find this book to be an excellent resource.

Superb Book for Christian Counselors

As a new student to Christian Counseling this was one of the first books I had to read as an assignment. Not only did I read it but I could not put it down. I wound up reading it four times, and each time I felt that my knowledge base doubled. Even though the book was written several years ago, its principles will hold true forever.

A Comprehensive and Comprehendable Biblical Counseling Approach

"Curing the Heart" by Howard Eyrich presents a truly biblical model of counseling, and does so in a comprehensive, comprehendible manner. It is detailed and packed with data, while also well-written and user-friendly. Section one presents the need for a biblical approach, arguing for the development of a biblical psychology where the Creator informs us about the nature of the creature. Eyrich's biblical psychology presents the Bible's message about humanity in a living and dynamic way, and shows how to use the Bible as a counseling tool that targets the heart. In section two, he shifts from a biblical counseling model to the biblical counselor. Here he highlights the content, character, and competence of the biblical counselor. Section three overviews the counseling process. Here we have a plethora of counseling intervention methods, each explained biblically and practically. This excellent manual is made even better by the inclusion of four appendices with practical helps for actually ministry. "Curing the Heart" should be mandatory reading for lay leaders, pastors, counselors, and students interested in understanding and developing their model of biblical counseling and their skillfulness as a biblical counselor. Reviewer: Bob Kellemen, Ph.D., is the author of "Soul Physicians," "Spiritual Friends," "Biblical Counseling," "Martin Luther's Counseling," and "Beyond the Suffering: Embracing the Legacy of African American Soul Care and Spiritual Direction."
