Though there are many books that take on the title of Christian counseling, many are not completely committed to Biblical counseling. There are even fewer when compared with the number of books available for secular and/or psychology based counseling; even within the church. The Christian committed to Biblical counseling must be aware of their material and be on the lookout for integration from humanistic/self-help worldviews.
