The Annual Guide was originally produced by Dr. Bob Kellemen and RPM Ministries from 2018-2021. Dr. Kellemen prepared the 2022 edition and then transferred the rights to the Biblical Counseling Coalition. Here is Dr. Kellemen’s brief description of the history of The Guide.

“Nearly every week someone emails me, sends me a text, posts to me on Facebook, leaves me a Twitter private message, or asks me in person:

‘Bob, could you recommend some biblical counseling resources for __________?’

For years I’ve thought, ‘I need to carve out extended time to collate an annotated list of recommended biblical counseling resources.’ In 2018, I finally carved out the time. And now, expanded, updated, and upgraded annually—including now in 2022—here it is.”
