流行心理學持續追索新的發現、新的研究、新的藥物或新的診斷，期待這些事物會驟然揭開人心黑暗面的秘密。但在此時，身為輔導員的德卡得卻要跟讀者分享那亙古常新的智慧之源。我們今天所面對的生命課題，以及跟罪惡的掙扎奮鬥，都不是什麼新奇的事，聖經對這些這些問題所提供的答案，始終都具有重大的意義。
清教徒視聖經為終極的權威，他們對上帝的主權和人心的潛在問題有正確的觀點，並且把輔導的技巧建立在這些正統觀點之上。今天的輔導員應當明白世人掙扎的原因，以及上帝在這些難題中有何供應，藉此裝備自己，將需要幫助的人導向上帝所指定的答案。
渴望成長的牧師、教會同工、輔導科系的學生和基督徒，都會發現此書每一章都是非常有用的資源，可以在需要的時候與其他基督徒分享，帶給他們屬靈的幫助。閱讀並記住每一章所討論的聖經輔導議題，可以使基督徒成為更優秀的輔導員，也更知道如何彼此鼓勵打氣。 ──葉提多牧師 改革宗神學院教務主任，聖經輔導主任
Popular psychology continues to pursue new discoveries, new studies, new drugs, or new diagnoses, expecting these things to suddenly reveal the secrets of the dark side of people's hearts. But at this time, as a counselor, Deckard wants to share with readers the ever-lasting new source of wisdom. The life issues we face today and the struggle with sin are nothing new. The answers provided by the Bible to these questions have always been of great significance.
The Puritans regarded the Bible as the ultimate authority. They had correct views on the sovereignty of God and the underlying problems of the human heart, and based their counseling skills on these orthodox views. Today's counselors should understand the reasons why the world is struggling and what God provides for these problems, so as to equip themselves and guide those in need to the answers God specifies.
Pastors, church staff, counseling students, and Christians who are eager to grow will find that each chapter in this book is a very useful resource, which can be shared with other Christians when needed and bring them spiritual help. Reading and remembering the Bible counseling issues discussed in each chapter can make Christians better counselors and know how to encourage each other. - Pastor Ye Tito, Dean of Reformed Theological Seminary, Dean of Bible Counselling
