Overview

One of a minister's most important jobs is pastoral care-comforting and counseling people and guiding them into reconciling relationships with God and others. People today earnestly seek a minister who knows their names and cares about their hurts and heartaches.

This foundational text introduces both clergy and laity to the ministry skills and personal qualities needed to provide effective care for people inside and outside the church. With seasoned insight, Professor Bruce Petersen provides the fundamental understanding and training pastors and church leaders need to care for people in meaningful, personal ways that model the love, compassion, and grace Christ showed during His ministry on earth.

About the Author:
