Five college students pitch a tent by their car one dark night, not realizing they’ve set up camp by a military runway. They awake from a deep sleep to the shaking of the earth and a roar like mountains falling―the sound of a military transport plane taking off right over their heads. Can you imagine the visceral terror of that moment? For author and biblical counselor Edward Welch, it was a glimpse of what the Israelites experienced in God’s presence at Mount Sinai.

Everyone needs help from time to time, especially in the midst of painful circumstances and difficult trials. In this short book, a highly respected biblical counselor and successful author offers practical guidance for all Christians—pastors and laypeople alike—who want to develop their "helping skills" when it comes to walking alongside hurting people. Written out of the conviction that friends are the best helpers, this accessible introduction to biblical counseling will equip believers to share their burdens with one another through gentle words of wisdom and kind acts of love.

Imaginez que vous puissiez vous joindre à un groupe de personnes où les membres se confieraient véritablement les uns aux autres. Dans ce groupe, vous pourriez parler de vos souffrances, sachant que quelqu’un vous répondra avec compassion. Vous pourriez même demander de l’aide pour lutter contre le péché, sachant que quelqu’un priera avec vous. Par de courts chapitres, Ed Welch guide le lecteur à travers huit leçons pour montrer à quoi ressemble la vie quotidienne de croyants ordinaires qui désirent s’aider mutuellement dans leur marche avec Christ.

Nous n’avons pas été créés pour surmonter seuls les épreuves de la vie. Dieu nous a donné son Esprit et nos frères et sœurs pour nous aider. Cependant, nous avons souvent peur de nous immiscer dans les problèmes des autres. Nous nous sentons incompétents et nous préférons laisser cela à des experts et des spécialistes. Toutefois, l’aide qui peut être apportée par les amis est précieuse et elle ne doit pas être négligée. Dieu se plaît à nous voir grandir et à nous transformer grâce à l’aide d’individus ordinaires qui ont été transformés par Christ.

Where is God in the struggle? Looking away from despair toward hope can feel risky. What if God doesn't come through for you? What if you don't feel instantly better? Instead of offering simple platitudes or unrealistic cure-all formulas, Edward T. Welch addresses the complex nature of depression with compassion and insight, applying the rich treasures of the Christian gospel, and giving fresh hope to those who struggle.

Shame controls far too many of us. But look at Jesus through the lens of shame, and see how the marginalized and worthless are his favorites and become his people. God cares for the shamed. Through Jesus you are covered, adopted, cleansed, and healed. Shame Interrupted is a perfect book if you are feeling left out or marginalized because it will help you understand that all Christians are loved by God. You'll learn that through faith there is nothing to be ashamed about, and you should celebrate your differences.

A worship disorder: This is how Edward T. Welch views addictions. "Will we worship our own desires or will we worship the true God?" With this lens the author discovers far more in Scripture on addictions than passages on drunkenness.

In Running Scared, Edward T. Welch investigates the roots of fear in the human soul and the ramifications of living in the grips of anxiety, worry, and dread. Welch encourages listeners to discover for themselves that the Bible is full of beautiful words of comfort for fearful people (and that every single person is afraid of something). Within the framework of 30 topical meditations, Welch offers sound biblical theology and moment-by-moment, thoughtful encouragement for life-saving rescue in the midst of the heart and mind battlefield of rampant panic-stricken responses.

In a 50-day reading plan journey, Welch unpacks anger while encouraging and teaching listeners to respond with patience to life's difficulties. This biblically wise resource is a useful tool for pastors, counselors, and lay helpers who are working with people who struggle with a short fuse. In A Small Book about a Big Problem, Welch invites listeners to consider how everyone can find anger in their actions and attitudes, but Jesus, the Prince of Peace, is the only one who can empower his people to grow in patience, peace, and wholeness.

I Have a Psychiatric Diagnosis guides listeners in listening to God, who has compassion for those who are struggling in these painful ways. Listening to God through the Bible reshapes psychological descriptions and functions as a corrective lens that opens our eyes.

Human beings are wired for connection. We long for deep relationships and real intimacy — both of which reflect our fundamental desire to be close to God. But all too often, whether because of our sin or our failures, we imagine that God prefers to keep his distance. In this book, Edward T. Welch shows us the purpose for which we were created: to be brought near to God as a kingdom of priests.

In Someone I Know Is Grieving, Edward T. Welch leans on his many years of counseling grieving people to help listeners learn from their compassionate Savior how to respond to people’s sadness and hard times without advice or trying to “fix it,” but to instead hear their story, learn from others’ experiences, and depend on the Spirit for wisdom for what to say and do.

Jesus is beside you on your darkest days, and he has good words for you. In thirty-one short, digestible readings, Edward Welch helps you to converse with him honestly amid your pain.

Imagine an interconnected group of people who entrust themselves to each other. You can speak of your pain, and someone responds with compassion and prayer.

With short chapters and discussion questions, Ed Welch shows listeners what it looks like when ordinary, needy people care for other ordinary, needy people in everyday life.
