Coming alongside struggling children can feel like an uphill battle. Counselors and parents may mistakenly assume that children need fundamentally different answers to life’s problems than adults do. This manual presents Christ as the central answer for children, emphasizing that children struggle with the same sinful desires, respond to the same lies, and need the same hope found in Jesus Christ.
The book equips counselors, parents, pastors, and other caregivers to help children through the hope of the gospel and the sufficiency of Scripture. It explains how to communicate biblical truth in ways children can understand without replacing biblical counseling principles with entirely different methods.
Edited by counseling professional Amy Baker, Caring for the Souls of Children brings together biblical wisdom and practical guidance from counselors, pastors, authors, and ministry leaders experienced in counseling children. Topics include anxiety, anger, abuse, suicidal thoughts and actions, self-harm, shame, grief, disability, disease, sexual identity, and many other challenges children face.
