Pastoral Care with Children in Crisis / Edition 1

by Andrew D. Lester

Overview

Noted teacher and experienced counselor Andrew Lester challenges ministers to take up an often neglected task—caring for the children of the parish. It is the pastor's role, Lester says, to make spiritual sense out of the chaos of crisis. He looks to the ministry of Jesus as the model for faithful, effective ministry and illustrates how a pastor's relationship with troubled children can have a significant impact on their development.
