Free eBook: A Counselor’s Guide To Asking The Right Questions

Questions are the basic tool of the counselor. But often we don’t know what question to ask next after we’ve gotten beyond basic informational questions. This free guide helps you to understand the different types of questions and how to use each kind for different purposes.

It will sharpen your skills as a people helper and help you ask the right question to not only get better information, but also to help your counselee to think more deeply and discover more what’s going on in their own heart and life.

Leslie Vernick gets it!

“Leslie Vernick gets it! She is a gifted writer, speaker, counselor, and coach who is relevant, insightful, and anchored in Biblical wisdom.
It’s a pleasure to recommend her as a refreshing leader in today’s culture.”

Dr. Tim Clinton

I’ve benefited immensely from Leslie Vernick’s books

“I’ve benefited immensely from Leslie Vernick’s books and speaking ministry. Leslie is faithful to Scripture and her advice is true to life, with a wide understanding drawn from an extensive counseling ministry. I’ve seen her address potentially explosive issues with compassion and insight. She calls people to God’s best and is faithful to the dictates of God’s word, but she demonstrates tremendous empathy and understanding in its application. Any ministry that represents such faithfulness to the biblical record along with empathy and understanding is a ministry that I highly trust.”

Gary Thomas

Author of the books: Sacred Marriage and Cherish

Leslie and Chris Moles did an extensive training

Leslie and Chris Moles did an extensive training for The Village Church leaders on working with couples in destructive marriages. Here is what their leaders said:

“Leslie and Chris exhibited a profound mastery of the content in our work with them. They are each experts in this field of study with a wealth of knowledge from which to draw wisdom. Coupled with their vast study are decades of experience working with victims, abusers, and couples. Their insights and advice were invaluable for our ministers for both recognizing abusive behaviors and working with victims and perpetrators of abuse. They are able to advise with a level of detail, nuance, discernment, and pastoral delicacy that is fitting for this intricate topic.

Chris and Leslie are not only extremely qualified to speak into this field, but their counsel is rich with the gospel. They show a deep understanding of how God’s character and redemptive plan inform the church’s response to abuse. Simultaneously, they are very well acquainted with the church’s troubled history of dealing with this issue with the seriousness and intentionality that is necessary. Their training makes key corrections and recommendations for churches that seek to honor the Lord’s high view of covenant and to protect vulnerable and abused people.

We have no doubt that Leslie and Chris will be a fantastic resource for your church or organization. We eagerly recommend them to you.”
