Quick Scripture Reference for Counseling
Quick Scripture Reference for Counseling by John G. Kruis has been a strong-selling Baker title for more than a decade. Quick Scripture Reference for Counseling Women is a reference book with a similar format, written to meet the unique and specific needs of women and those who counsel them. This concise, topical resource of Scripture references covers approximately ninety topics that today's women face, including abortion, aging/menopause, bitterness, career, co-dependency, divorce, empty nest, flirtation, hospitality, marriage, past memories, prodigal children, self worth, and an unsaved spouse. Everyone who uses this reference will see how God's Word is relevant to life's problems and sufficient for creating wholeness and healing in women's lives. Quick Scripture Reference for Counseling Women was written as a personal reference guide for women, but it is very useful for counselors, pastors, and women's ministry leaders as well. Scripture quotations are from the popular NIV.

Great reference for common sinful response
Easy to read and reference when working with a client. Makes the counseling smoother when side tracked with a problem that has not been dealt with.

John 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

I have more or less been reading this in a devotional way. A few of the designated scriptures might not be helpful in some of the situations the books suggests. If one can use it without being glib, it seems like it could be good tool.
