| Summary: | This book is an accessible tool for all clergy, from the recently ordained to the seasoned veteran. The chapters provide a comprehensive survey of the major challenges confronting the ministry of a congregational clergyperson. The essays not only offer insights into assessment and pastoral care, but offer solid recommendations of how to improve one's own personal counseling skills. This is one of the more astute, helpful, sensible, and competent books to appear in decades. It will become a standard reference work, not only for active pastors but also for seminarians aspiring to ministries in congregations, and for lay volunteers involved in the provision of compassionate care.
