The Billy Graham Christian Worker’s Handbook, by Billy Graham; revised and rewritten by Charles G. Ward (World-Wide Publications, 1984, 270 pp.; $7.95).
Evangelical Christians are quick to articulate the relevance of Scripture to all of life. But when asked to translate that relevance to such specific problems as child abuse, divorce, and spiritual doubt, the majority draw strangely still.
Originally compiled and designed for use by telephone counselors fielding calls generated by Billy Graham’s crusade telecasts, this handbook presents biblical insights and directives on over 50 problem areas characteristic of the human condition. In addition, it offers practical counseling instructions to help effect specific solutions in the lives of those facing these particular needs.
While not claiming to be exhaustive, the Worker’s Handbook is, nevertheless, an excellent resource for professional and lay counselor alike.
