Jay E Adams
Jay Adams wants Christians to train themselves to be competent to counsel. He says that Christian counseling is far from psychiatry. Instead, it is “nouthetic counseling”. “The word nouthetic comes from the Greek word noutheteō. The word, which is primarily used by Paul in the New Testament, is translated into English as “admonish,” “correct,” or “instruct.” This is the word that occurs in Romans 15:14, where Paul writes, “I myself am satisfied about you my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge and able to instruct one another.”
This book is for any Christian who would like to be better equipped to help others find God’s answers to their difficulties
