Adams. Grand Rapids, MI : Ministry Resources Library, [1986], c1972. 265 p. ; 22 cm. The Jay Adams library Originally published: The big umbrella and other essays on Christian counseling. Nutley, N.J. : Presbyterian and Reformed Pub. Co., c1972. Includes bibliographical references. The big umbrella -- Is society sick? -- Grief as a counseling opportunity -- Evangelism in counseling -- You are your brother's counselor -- How you can get the most out of counseling -- Can your marriage succeed today? -- Parental sex education -- Drugs and your child -- Group therapy or slander? -- The Christian school teacher and his disciples. This collection of essays, formerly titled The Big Umbrella, is a miscellany of Jay Adams's approach both to specific topics, such as dealing with grief, and to larger issues, such as defining and evaluating "mental illness." The author is not convinced that "mental illness" is the proper term to describe the condition of most people who seek help in dealing with their problems. In these essays the issues will be made clear: "The work of changing men's lives belongs to the Christian ministry in particular and to Christian people in general." The purpose of these essays is to equip Christian people for the role they must play in helping others to change in conformity with scriptural principles. They follow upon the author's classic introduction to counseling, Competent to Counsel. - Back cover. Pastoral counseling. 53071 Pastoral counseling. fast 53072 Adams, Jay Edward.
