Viewing scripture as a “heart-exposer” and engaging at that level with counseling.

◎ the time away from the counseling room is where the majority of our method is drawn for homework. 

◎ the extent of homework is contingent upon the counselee; every counselee is different therefore, the amount or frequency of any homework is based on the nature of the situation and the person working through it. 

◎ ABC offers a variety of "homework helps" for counselors and their counselee’s. 

◎ The heart of the matter series; practical sheet - heart log - where the counselee captures the situation, their emotions, thoughts, desires, and behaviors.
