The contents of the book are basic principles of caring written for ministers on a church staff. However, they are not so written as to be useful only to these ministers. A Sunday School teacher, a Woman's Missionary Union leader, or any other dedicated member of the church who wants to be systematic and thoughtful in caring for people will find it readable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAt the same time it could well be used as text or parallel reading in a college or seminary class. This is a remarkable achievement of the authors of the book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThen, again, the authors of the book are themselves serious and competent practitioners of pastoral care in several different contexts. Jim Hightower works in the context of a denomination as a consultant in pastoral care. Albert Meiburg is a professor of pastoral care in a seminary. Bob Dale works in a state denominational setting. Steve Ivy speaks from the context of his work as chaplain in a hospital. Bonnie Dillon is a pastoral counselor in a counseling center. Brian Harbour speaks of caring through sermons as the pastor of a church. Finally Paul Stevenson interprets evangelism for us from the context of the whole denomination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIt is a privilege for me to commend this fine book to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWayne E.
