﻿Counseling for Church Leaders offers biblical and practical encouragement to church leaders-in the broadest sense-as they help the hurting. Though Bagents and Snodgrass share insights learned from decades of counseling experience and include resources for further study, their appeal flows primarily from Scripture. Their emphasis is on God's leaders helping God's people God's way. Chapters explore God as counselor; a biblical understanding of human wellness; why people seek counseling; and the basics of listening, empathy, and emotions. Discussions include traps to avoid during counseling, the power of prevention, and practicing self-care during the helping process. "How to" chapters explore working with the angry, the fearful, the grieving, and the depressed. Counseling for Church Leaders also addresses helping those who are stuck and under-connected as well dealing with toxic people. Bagents and Snodgrass affirm the ability, obligation, and opportunity for each Christian to lead by helping others. They make no argument that every Christian should become a therapist. Rather, they appeal to church leaders-at every level-to value, enhance, and practice the time-honored people-helping skills that show others the love of God.

"Ed Gallagher combines academic understanding with practical ministry application, and the result is a book that will bless Bible class teachers, preachers, and anyone who desires a deeper understanding of Luke's Gospel. The footnotes and charts provide excellent resources for future study without detracting from the book's readability. There are insights here that will challenge us to learn, reflect, and grow in our faith. The Gospel of Luke: Explorations in Christian Scripture promises to be an effective tool for Bible class and personal study for years to come." 
-Andrew Phillips, Pulpit Minister Graymere Church of Christ (Columbia, Tennessee)\nThis series of studies on the Gospel of Luke (thirteen chapters with an introduction and a discussion guide) aims to help Christians glean more from the longest of the canonical Gospels. Luke's presentation of Jesus provides important and beloved stories about the Lord, including the lengthiest account of his birth and childhood, a distinctive account of his death and resurrection, and much unique material arising from his teaching, such as the Parable of the Good Samaritan and the Parable of the Prodigal Son. This book would be ideal for a church Bible glass, small group, or Christian book club. Readers are sure to love more both the Third Gospel and the Savior whose life it narrates.
