{"product_id":"pastoral-care-bill-merrington-9781506460116","title":"Pastoral Care: A Practical Guide","description":"\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the local church is the Christ-like care it manifests to its own members and those in the community. Increasingly, with fewer full-time ministers, this role is falling to the laity, often without formal training. This book will help ordained and lay members of the church to be more confident and better equipped in pastoral skills. Included are sections on understanding pastoral ministry, how to minister safely, developing appropriate skills for use in church and in the wider community and how to minister to oneself. A practical, hands-on book that all in pastoral ministry should read, and one that will help new pastors to survive and thrive in a long-term ministry in the church.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bill Merrington\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1506460119\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781506460116\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Augsburg Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/19\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 379\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.85d","brand":"Bill Merrington","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994533462271,"sku":"9781506460116","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ef5ff04b-717e-409d-9ab0-785236d2bc28.jpg?v=1683330718","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pastoral-care-bill-merrington-9781506460116","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
