Counseling with Our Councils (Paperback)
Revised Edition
"There is no problem in the family, ward, or stake that cannot be solved if we look for solutions in the Lord's way by counseling — really counseling — with each other."
So teaches Elder M. Russell Ballard, who has long been a champion of the divinely inspired council system. In this newly revised edition of his classic Counseling with Our Councils, which has been updated to reflect the increasing emphasis placed recently on councils in the Church and family, he shows:
- how to plan and conduct a truly effective council meeting.
- how to make better us of the combined inspiration, wisdom, and experience of all council members, including the unique perspectives of women.
- how to utilize the resources of a family, ward, or stake council to help bring people to Christ.
The insights and ideas in this book are an invaluable resource for Church leaders, parents, and anyone who wishes to minister more effectively with others in the Church or in the family.
