| Publisher Description: During life's challenges and crises, people are in the greatest need of help and a word of comfort, encouragement, and hope. Jesus Christ not only gave His church a mandate to help those who are broken in heart, mind, soul, and body, but He also showed His church how to do it thoroughly and effectively. Comprehensive and Effective Pastoral Care is a step-by-step guide to help both ministers and laypersons be prepared to assist and support the people of God who come to them for help |
