Martin Luther was not only a theologian, a writer, and a preacher, he was a pastoral counselor who longed for peace with God. In Counseling Under the Cross, biblical counselor and noted author Bob Kellemen mines the riches of Luther's letters of spiritual counsel to give readers a new understanding of how Luther engaged in the personal ministry of the gospel. He shows how daring faith in Christ alone can change our life today and give us peace forever.
Kellemen guides pastors, counselors, lay leaders, and friends toward a deeper understanding of the gospel that will directly impact their personal ministry to others. Through lively vignettes, real-life stories, and direct quotes from Luther, readers will be equipped to apply the gospel to themselves and others, and learn that pastoral care is what every believer does in one-another ministry.
As one of the most influential figures in Christian history, Luther was not only the father of the Reformation, he was also the father of 'gospel-centered counseling.' Counseling Under the Cross equips readers to apply the gospel richly, relevantly, and robustly to suffering and sin so that we find our hope and help in Christ alone.
