About the Book

In addition to over 100 books, Jay Adams wrote scores of essays and delivered hundreds of lectures during his life. Many of those essays and lectures were compiled into stand-alone books which have gone out of print over the years. Other essays were published in various journals, festschrifts, booklets, magazines, and compilations edited by others. With this series, INS is pleased to be able to bring these essays back into print. This initial volume contains lectures Dr. Adams delivered during the first two years following the publication of Competent to Counsel. That book turned the Christian counseling world upside down and because Adams was a skillful public speaker, [1] he was not able to accept the countless invitations to speak and present his views in person. As a result, he decided to put many of the lectures he was giving into print. The Big Umbrella was the title of one of these lectures and became the title of his first book of lectures, published in 1972. This volume contains all of the lectures originally published in that book and has been edited only for clarity and updating some archaic 1970s language. [1] Adams' PhD was in speech, not counseling.

About the Author :
JAY E. ADAMS, AB, BD, STM, Ph.D. (1929-2020) served as a pastor, church planter, denominational executive, seminary professor, author, and lecturer. He taught homiletics at Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia and was the Director of Advanced Studies at Westminster Seminary in California. He was the founder of the Christian Counseling and Educational Foundation (CCEF), the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors (formerly NANC), and the Institute for Nouthetic Studies (INS). Adams was the author of over 100 books including the best-seller Competent to Counsel which launched the modern biblical counseling movement. He was a recipient of The Order of the Palmetto, the highest civilian honor awarded by the State of South Carolina.

Review :
Jay Adams is the brilliant founder of the modern biblical counseling movement. There is literally no author, professor, leader, or practitioner of biblical counseling currently serving that does not stand in the debt of Jay Adams. His entire ministry and corpus of work is worthy of careful study. I am so glad to learn that his essays and lectures, many of which have not been accessible for many years, are now being published anew. Biblical counselors who are serious about growing as competent counselors will welcome these volumes with me. Heath Lambert Senior Pastor First Baptist Church Jacksonville Peruse the table of contents, and you will realize that Adams offers insight into various counseling issues that frequent the office of the pastor and the biblical counselor. You may not always agree with his slant of things, but you will always have one of two experiences. It will either be, "Ah, that is very helpful." Or, he will kick-start your further investigation of the issue thereby triggering your growth. As with any Jay Adams book, it is worth much more than the cost. Howard Eyrich, MA, ThM, Dmin Director of the DMin program, Birmingham Theological Seminary I cannot commend the Institute for Nouthetic Studies enough, for the ongoing release of the writings of Jay Adams. Their efforts have already produced a number of significant, heretofore out-of-print volumes, and now, with this first of a series of volumes, Adams' essays will now continue to help guide the burgeoning movement of those who desire to wholly depend upon God's Word for the care of souls. The most noteworthy and significant feature of this multi-volume set of volumes will be material from Adams that has never before been published! May our Lord Jesus Christ, the Chief Shepherd of His sheep, be pleased to use these resources for His honor and the church's continual upbuilding. Dr. Lance Quinn, PhD Executive Vice-President, The Expositors Seminary
