Bob,
I enjoyed your article in the mosy recent AACC magazine on Susanna Wesley.
Can I get a copy, please.
Thank you,
Dr. Rich Leaver
Rich, Thanks for the encouraging words. I can actually do better than getting the article. You can get the book from which I excerpted the article. Sacred Friendships: Celebrating the Legacy of Women Heroes of the Faith contains that article, plus narratives of over 50 additional women soul care givers. The book is available on my site at 40% off. Bob

Dr. Kellemen – I met and spoke with you for a bit at last year’s AACC. Since then, I’ve been absorbing and digesting Soul Physicians, and it’s done as much for my personal intimacy with the Lord God as it has done in giving me what I need to offer Biblical Counseling as a ministry for patients. What an important work. I can’t thank you enough.
Brian, Thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words. Bob
Hi ~
Just found your site via the AACC magazine article you wrote, Biblical Counseling FAQs. I’ve added your blog to my favorites list, and look forward to looking through all the resources you’ve provided on your site.
Always good to find another partner in the ministry of counseling and spiritual formation!

Just found your site. Not too familiar with you or your ministry. Still, the youth pastor’s wife wishes she had more skill in counciling, as do I, and we’re both rather peaved with Scripture coated secular stuff as well as the one verse fits all stuff. I’ve studied some things on my own but nobody can absorb it. (Things like: anger needs to be comforted! and, the addictions of our youth are God given comforts gone awry because God was excluded from them.) Anyway, I can’t help her, so do you have suggestions on what she can do to get help to help others?
