Resources
We like to share resources with you, such as reading materials, websites, etc., to help you with issues of living, pertinent to counseling concerns. Our intention in listing resources for you is not to offer them as a form of treatment, but to simply recommend these as possible aids to your growth and understanding. Not all of these resources are specifically Christian in context, but may still offer perspectives helpful to your understanding. The inclusion of a resource reference on this page does not constitute an endorsement by the CCC of all of the content in each resource.
