JBC Must Reads: On Suffering

The mission of the Journal of Biblical Counseling (JBC) is to develop clear thinking and effective practice that faithfully brings God’s Word to bear on the problems of daily living. Over the decades, we have published more than 1,000 articles on a variety of counseling topics. The Must Reads series is a helpful entryway into this wealth of material. Each issue provides a group of carefully selected articles on an important topic such as sexuality, anxiety, counseling methodology and counseling in the church.

This issue in the Must Reads contains several articles on suffering that were written by CCEF faculty. The content offers biblical insights on suffering and practical guidance for ministering to those who suffer, as well as many personal stories.
