Competent to Minister calls Christians back to the Bible, biblically ordained ministries, and mutual care; helps break down walls of intimidation that have hindered personal ministry among Christians; and presents the excellent, effective way Christ works through believers as they minister God's grace through biblical conversation, prayer, and practical help. It answers such questions as: What can Christians do to help individuals suffering from problems of living? What should churches do for suffering souls? What did the church do for almost 2000 years without psychological counseling?
