Cure of Souls

What does “Cure of Souls” mean?  It is an older way of saying, “Care of Souls,” what we now think of as “Pastoral Care.”  But, since all Christians are called to minister to each other, in varying degrees and in different contexts, here are some resources I’ve found helpful.

Competent to Counsel – Jay Adams

How to Help People Change – Jay Adams

Quick Scripture Reference for Counseling – John D. Kruis (uses the NIV, but still very handy)

The Divine Art of Contentment – Thomas Watson (a classic work by a Puritan, but especially relevant in these days of economic excess and coveteousness)

Sex is Not the Problem–Lust Is – Joshua Harris

Porn-Again Christian:  A Frank Discussion on Pornography and Masturbation – Mark Driscoll

Mark Horne – “Jesus is Lord”: A Practical Suggestion for Struggling with Sin

Joe Dallas – “Darkening Our Minds:  The Problem of Pornography Among Christians”
