Temptation

“In his typical, very clear way of writing, Dr. Jay Adams has addressed a problem common to all Christians: slow growth. Then he addresses one of the solutions: radical amputation. Explaining radical amputation and illustrating it with two outstanding examples, Adams uses his God-given spiritual gifts and his biblical counseling experience to once again give us a practical resource to help us completely turn from our sin. This is such a good little booklet that I am praying the Lord will use it to help many others… . I know that I, for one, will use it with my counselees.”–Martha Peace, biblical counselor and author of Damsels in Distress

Jay E. Adams (1929-2020), a pioneer in biblical counseling, served as a pastor, church planter, denominational executive, seminary professor, author, and lecturer.

He was the founder of the Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation (CCEF), the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors (formerly NANC), and the Institute for Nouthetic Studies (INS). Adams was the author of over one hundred books, including the best-selling Competent to Counsel, a book that launched the modern biblical counseling movement.
