Self-Confrontation Bundle

The bundle enables you to study the Self-Confrontation course on your own. The Self-Confrontation manual is the reference book for the course while the Student Workbook leads you through key Scripture passages and points you to relevant portions of the Self-Confrontation manual.

BCF Training courses – LEVEL 2: DISCIPLESHIP/ COUNSELING

The goal of courses after Self-Confrontation is not to develop “professional counselors,” but believers that are able to disciple/counsel others in a variety of settings.

Christians must be prepared to provide biblical discipleship to others within local church, family, work, friendships, and other relationships in any setting.

Periodically, we offer When a Friend Asks for Counsel, What Do I Do? (Level 2A) online.

Victory Over Failures Plan

The Victory Over Failures Plan is a tool developed to help you overcome any difficulty of life with the full expectation of complete and lasting victory. This booklet is a companion to the Self-Confrontation manual. It can be used independently from the Self-Confrontation Course but is best understood and applied along with the course.

Biblical Principles for Discipleship/Counseling

The Biblical Principles booklet contains all of the 105 biblical principles from the Self-Confrontation manual as well as 32 principles from the Handbook for Biblical Discipleship / Counseling available in one package.
