The Big Umbrella: And Other Essays and Addresses on Biblical Counseling
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
The Big Umbrella is a collection of essays and addresses given by the author in the early 1970s. In it, Jay Adams, perhaps the central figure in the nouthetic, or Biblical Counseling Movement, discusses a wide variety of subjects all dealing in some way with counseling from a biblical perspective.
