Some Favorite Books To Help Christian Couples (From A Marriage Therapist’s Bookshelf)

Counseling Tips For Pastors And Ministry Leaders - Practical Help From Christian Counselors

As a Christian counseling agency, one of the most common questions that we get from our local pastors is “How can I help this couple in my church who is struggling?”

Today, let’s offer some resources!

There are plenty of ideas for conversations, questions to ask, and things to try with couples who are struggling. But one of the best ways to find a good book that can expand your own knowledge, and which you can easily offer to couples who are looking for help.

Sure, there are some great podcasts, videos, and websites to help couples. But books are a classic for a reason! Today, I walked around our counseling offices to gather up a few favorites from our own bookshelves - and I want to introduce you to them.

You can find links to each book in our blogpost for this episode.
