Whatever the setting, ministers are often called on to provide counsel and, by virtue of their calling and training, are expected to do so. This \"how-to\" guide for seminary students and ministers explores the role of the minister as counselor and provides a method for giving counsel. Renowned pastoral care expert Donald Capps equips readers with basic knowledge and skills and helps them to create a framework to ensure that all conversations where counsel is given will be valuable and not harmful to the person involved. Using a \"problem-resolving\" approach, Capps leads readers through: -- How to Create a Listening Environment -- How to Construct a Conversation -- How to Think Systemically -- How to Interpret Stories -- How to Manage Boundaries Giving Counsel is the perfect resource for seminary students and ministers of all faiths, whether you are beginning your study or looking for a single resource to serve your ministry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Donald Capps\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 082721247X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780827212473\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Chalice Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.05w x 0.69d","brand":"Donald Capps","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947381817599,"sku":"9780827212473","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_6ac5ba21-9a75-4665-9005-168e1d0202cb.jpg?v=1681518390","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/giving-counsel-donald-capps-9780827212473","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
