I'm not a big fan of most  of what passes for counseling and therapy  these days. But I have found the work and books from the Christian Counseling and Education Foundation (CCEF) to be excellent. These include the likes of Ed Welch (Addictions: A Banquet in the Grave) and David Powlison who are thoroughly Christ-centered and grounded in the Scriptures.

For those of you who may not have the time or desire to read lengthy counseling books, check out the selection of mini books from CCEF here. Each book costs about $4 and the topics include:

• Angry Children: Understanding and Helping Your Child Regain Control Divorce Recovery: Growing and Healing God's Way Eating Disorders: The Quest for Thinness   Facing Death with Hope: Living for What Lasts Family Feuds: How to Respond Freedom from Guilt: Finding Release from Your Burdens Healing after Abortion: God's Mercy Is for You   Help for Stepfamilies: Avoiding the Pitfalls and Learning to Love Help for the Caregiver: Facing the Challenges with Understanding and Strength Help!
