Description
While most people may be familiar with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), there is another category of obsessions and compulsions that has been known to burden many believers. It is known by many names including scrupulosity, religious OCD, moral obsession, among others. Counselees struggling with obsessions and so-called compulsions
surrounding their spiritual life may be diligent with checking off every spiritual box, but still lack assur-
ance, peace, and joy. This booklet aims to help biblical counselors address wayward postures of the heart that promote scrupulous fear with a gospel-focused remedy.
