Pastoral Care and Counseling

The shepherds of Christ's church need great resources to help them in their God-given job, and Moody Publishers is here to help! As a ministry that has an education branch in Moody Bible Institute and Moody Theological Seminary, we're a publisher that understands Christian ministry training through Bible college or seminary, both online and in-person. That's why our books are such useful resources, not only as textbooks, but for real-world pastoral care and counseling. Whether it's local church ministry, or clinical counseling for marriage and family, or crisis therapy, we have books for everyone involved in such important life-on-life ministry—always with a high view of Scripture and dependence on the Holy Spirit!
