Bøker av Larry Crabb

In Effective Biblical Counseling, Gold Medallion Award-winning author Dr. Larry Crabb presents a model of counseling that can be gracefully integrated into the functioning of the local church. He asserts that counseling is simply a relationship between people who care and that its goal is to free people to better worship and serve God. This book will show you how to help people achieve obedience and character growth in their lives, and establish a sense of personal worth and security along the way. Dr. Crabb says, "e;I believe that God has ordained the local church to be his primary instrument to tend to his people's aches and pains. In writing this book I have tried to be of practical help to Christians who want to be more effective in ministering to their suffering brothers and sisters."e;

You can stop trying to get everything right. Is the pressure getting to you? Do you try to make everything work, only to find that your best efforts are largely ineffective? Christians have unknowingly embraced two errors: that following the rules guarantees a good life, and that God is important because He dispenses blessings. When God's blessings seem to taper off and when life doesn't work out, people take it upon themselves to make things work. And that creates pressure that we are all too familiar with. In The Pressure's Off, best-selling author and counselor Larry Crabb introduces you to the New Way of living. God does not guarantee ease or convenience-or even a good outcome as the result of your obedience. But he does promise himself, no matter what the circumstances of your life. When you seek God and nothing else, the pressure truly is off you. Workbook included!

The book deals thoughtfully and honestly with men's ongoing struggles and exposes the difficulties they have in relationships.
