 In our bookstore, we no longer provide links to a particular book dealer but give lists of what we think are the best books on a  particular subject allowing you to purchase these books where you feel appropriate

         Some confusion has been brought to our attention that there are some other websites offering our videos as counseling training.  We appreciate their desire to propagate our materials but we cannot offer course credit or validate any certifications they might offer. 

         We have loaded our newest course "Addiction Recovery According to the Bible" just recorded in Slovakia in English with Slovak interpretation.  It has now been translated into Swahili and  Arabic.  These videos are entitled "Additions for Slovakia,"  "Addictions in Swahili" and "Addictions in Arabic." The Lord led us to present this seminar for the Roma (Gypsies) in Slovakia but we believe it is the purest all-Bible method of addition recovery yet and it is set up so that it can be easily re-interpreted into other languages.  We believe the Lord really gave us some breakthroughs here at this seminar.  Watch it and let us know what you think.  To watch the presentation done in Slovakia click here. 

      Logos University has raised their application fee to $100, Undergraduate tuition to $100 and Graduate Tuition to $125 per credit hour.  Of course, students currently under contract paying Logos directly will not be affected by this increase.  Logos does offer a 10% scholarships for students from developing countries. 

       We have now added programs for helping churches start support groups, lay counseling, counseling centers, and counseling training centers.  Also note the new options page that provides a chart showing all of our training options.

From Our Students

"This class for me was transformational! Very practical illustrations of biblical principles. Fantastic!"

"I can't even begin to explain the importance and value these classes have played in my life." 

From a Curriculum User

At Life Christian University, we firmly believe that Jesus is the answer to every problem of life. Because of this, we have chosen Dr. Troy Reiner’s “Faith Therapy” program as the basis of our counseling program. His books are wonderful! They carefully lay a biblical foundation for complete recovery for every believer. Taking the truth that salvation works, he trains Christian counselors to help individuals remove the blockages in their minds and hearts that prevent them from experiencing the fullness of what Jesus purchased for them on the cross. Feedback from both our students and our faculty has been overwhelmingly positive. I heartily recommend these books!
