If you’re a counselor, pastor, student, educator, one-another minister, small group leader, soul care provider, spiritual friend, spouse, or parent, you want to know the most helpful books about biblical counseling—books that seek to change lives with Christ’s changeless truth. Because of that, I’ve collated top biblical counseling books on an annual basis since 2012 (see the end of this post for links to the 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017 lists).

I’ve never had a year when I’ve had so many biblical counseling books to choose from—and of such high quality. Last year I made this a Top 17 list because it was 2017. I tried to make this year a Top 18 list, but even that was too few. So, I selected the top two dozen biblical counseling books of 2018.

I’ve selected these books on the basis of their biblical depth, relevance to life, practicality for one-another ministry, faithfulness to the sufficiency of Scripture, application to progressive sanctification, and by accepting nominations from biblical counseling leaders. Here, in alphabetical order, are the top 24 books published in 2018 about biblical counseling, written by a biblical counselor about Christian living, or important to biblical counselors.
