Puritan writers-theologians were masters at understanding the nature of
human beings and applying Scripture in practical ways to help people.
Looking to Scripture as the final authority, the Puritans grounded their
own counselling practices in a proper view of the sovereignty of God and
the underlying heart issues of people. By understanding why people
struggle and the provision God makes for our struggles, counsellors
today will be better equipped to guide those they counsel toward
God-appointed solutions.
