{"product_id":"performing-pastoral-care-gregory-clifton-smith-9781785920363","title":"Performing Pastoral Care: Music as a Framework for Exploring Pastoral Care","description":"Making the case for the relevance of pastoral care today, this book explores the role of pastoral care through the prism of music. Using musical analogies, the author provides a new way of understanding and practising pastoral care, grounded in practical theology. Challenging overemphasis on mission, he shows that pastoral care remains essential to the life of the church, especially when engaging with extreme situations such as dying, suffering or war, and considers the role of pastoral carers in the specific pastoral encounter and in the life of the church in general.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gregory Clifton-Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1785920367\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781785920363\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jessica Kingsley Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.50d","brand":"Gregory Clifton-Smith","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46640651305215,"sku":"9781785920363","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_52d12087-6200-46ac-a217-a1ce27324b42.jpg?v=1740670182","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/performing-pastoral-care-gregory-clifton-smith-9781785920363","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
