Description
In Our Lives First: Meditations for Counselors is a collection of six weeks' worth of readings that explore the work of counseling and its impact on both the counselor's life and soul. Drawing on her 40 years of experience, Diane Langberg shows how the true work of counselors begins with tending to their own souls in relationship to Jesus Christ.
For effective change and growth to occur, counselors must first prioritize their own spiritual health. This book offers a daily devotional approach, featuring essays by Dr. Langberg interspersed with quotes from influential Puritan pastors and theologians, providing 40 days' worth of readings for reflection and contemplation.
Through these meditations, readers will gain insight into the importance of self-care and spiritual growth in the life of a counselor, and how this can lead to more effective work with clients. This book is an invaluable resource for counselors seeking to deepen their understanding of their role and cultivate a stronger faith-based practice.
