In Gospel Conversations, part of the Equipping Biblical Counselors Series, Bob Kellemen explores the four compass-points that guide 22 essential biblical counseling skills, providing a comprehensive approach to caring like Christ. How does a person learn to counsel others with the truth of God's Word Bob Kellemen believes that the best way to learn counseling is by doing it-by giving and receiving biblical counseling in the context of real, raw Christian community. Gospel Conversations explores the four compass-points of biblical counseling: Sustaining: "It's Normal to Hurt." Healing: "It's Possible to Hope." Reconciling: "It's Horrible to Sin, but Wonderful to Be Forgiven." Guiding: "It's Supernatural to Mature." These four compass points combine to equip readers to develop twenty-two ministry relational competencies-the "how to" of caring like Christ. This book serves as a practical training manual that can be used for lab and small group interaction.

Gospel Conversations is the second volume in The Equipping Biblical Counselors Series, a comprehensive relational training curriculum for the local church that provides a model for equipping God's people to change lives with Christ's changeless truth. This two-volume series weaves together comprehensive biblical insight with compassionate Christian engagement.
