We believe that as you learn to shepherd your own heart, you will then be well on your way to skillfully come alongside others to help them in their situational difficulties. We also believe that as you serve others by sharing what the Lord has done in your own life, you will then be able to offer a real and living hope in the person and work of Jesus Christ. You will also have confidence concerning the sufficiency of Scripture as God’s means of grace to bring about character change because you are seeing it worked out in your own life.

Several years ago I purchased the CD ROM version of the Journal of Biblical Counseling from CCEF. I had been a subscriber of the Journal for many years. When they came out with the CD version I didn’t hesitate to get a copy. This has been the most useful counseling resource I’ve ever come across. Its usefulness is seemingly limitless as well as broad. Here is an excerpt from the CCEF website containing the CD version of the Journal:

The JBC CD-ROM contains the 36 issues of the Journal of Pastoral Practice and 41 issues of the Journal of Biblical Counseling (through 2005). The 77 back issues include over 940 articles, book reviews, sermons, interviews, and editorials all for one low price.

Let me urge you to consider buying this CD. You can purchase it HERE. I’ve added some sample articles here to give you a taste of their awesome and world class work.
