Grief, Transition, and Loss: A Pastor's Practical Guide (Creative Pastoral Care and Counseling)

Plot

In Grief, Transition, and Loss,author Wayne Oates calls Christian caregivers to the task of attending to people facing moments of emergency and crisis. Throughout the book Oates draws on his own experiences of loss, and his extensive work with grieving people to build a theological and biblical understanding of the ways in which people encounter challenging times. The book covers a variety of losses--illness, death, separation and divorce, and even a range of work related issues--with sensitivity and grace, and equips caregivers with the tools needed to respond in helpful and lifegiving ways.
