The Counsel of the Godly: Counseling God's Way Summary:

The Counsel of the Godly

- Do you believe in the sufficiency of God’s Word to direct the lives of God’s people?

- Do you feel uneasy about the current trend of mixing God’s Word with secular psychology, in the ministry of Christian counselling?

- Would you like to increase your skills in applying the powerful principles of God’s Word in your counselling ministry?


This book is in two sections. The first section covers the foundations of biblical counseling. Then, in the second section we cover various specific areas of counseling, such as:

- The downward spiral of depression. Some reports say that 10% of all cases of depression are endogenous (sourced from within the body). If this is so, how do we counsel the other 90% of cases of depression?

- How can counselees break free of codependency?

- What is the difference between fear and phobia, and how do we counsel persons in either category?

- Many counselees want to know God’s will for their lives. How can we help them discover God’s will?

- What is the difference between neurosis and psychosis, and how do we help those with bizarre behavior problems?

- How can counselees detect harmful relationships and break free of them?

- What is a Personal Data Inventory and why is it a valuable counseling tool? (Sample supplied).

- Is it really possible to break free of addictive behavior? Discover how life-dominating patterns can be broken and replaced with godly behavior within six weeks.


The Counsel of the Godly is all about using your most powerful asset, the Word of God, in your counseling ministry. Here’s what others are saying about The Counsel of the Godly:

“At last, a manual on counseling that re-focuses our attention on the Word of God and the work of the Holy Spirit to bring permanent and heart-felt change, rather than behavior modification alone” (Pastor Len Magee, Grace Christian Church, Gold Coast.)

“I regard Ken Legg as one of the very best contemporary Christian authors, especially in the field of Biblical counseling. His real life gifting, experience and integrity, both as pastor and counselor, shine through in his writing. Extremely easy to read, yet incredibly difficult to fault.” (Rev. Rick Burley, Senior Minister, New Beginnings Christian Church, Newcastle, NSW.)
