Quick Scripture Reference for Counseling Women is a reference book with a similar format, written to meet the unique and specific needs of women and those who counsel them. This concise, topical resource of Scripture references covers approximately ninety topics that today's women face, including abortion, aging/menopause, bitterness, career, co-dependency, divorce, empty nest, flirtation, hospitality, marriage, past memories, prodigal children, self worth, and an unsaved spouse. Everyone who uses this reference will see how God's Word is relevant to life's problems and sufficient for creating wholeness and healing in women's lives. Quick Scripture Reference for Counseling Women was written as a personal reference guide for women, but it is very useful for counselors, pastors, and women's ministry leaders as well. Scripture quotations are from the popular NIV.
