  • Description

    Counselors have a high calling to love and care for people who are struggling in a fallen world. A wise biblical counselor draws out the deep attitudes of the heart and encourages their counselees toward growth into the image of Christ. Learning about specific problems, sharing Scripture, and sitting with suffering people are all important parts of counseling. While all of these elements are essential to the counseling task, counseling will ultimately fail without the simple yet vital skill of listening well.

    In Learning to Listen, biblical counselor Joseph Hussung gives readers a theology of listening and explains the purpose, posture, and practice of this essential counseling skill. If counselors do not truly hear the hearts of their counselees, they won't understand the nuanced struggles at play nor how to apply biblical principles. Listening well enables counselors to love well and understand with empathy.

    Learning to Listen equips counselors with practical tools for conversation, including sample questions, reflection and clarification, affirmation and wise confrontation, and attention to body language and vocal tone. Designed for pastors, church leaders, ministry workers, and counseling students, this book helps readers become active, compassionate listeners who can apply Scripture wisely in pastoral care.
