Caregiving Guide,
By Craig L. Howe "The Pointed Pundit" (Darien, CT United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Christian Caregiving: A Way of Life (Paperback)
The world needs people who care. This book is a practical manual for anyone who has ever felt uncomfortable comforting a friend or acquaintance.
Kenneth Haugk has written this book to address the real-life issues people confront when caring for others. Many find it easier to discuss sex than to discuss issues of their faith and religion. Even if we are comfortable sharing these matters, those with whom we deal may not be. This practical, well-written book takes the reader beyond theories about the integration of psychology and theology. It strengthens and re-enforces your call to care for those about who you care.

A great "how to" book,

This review is from: Christian Caregiving: A Way of Life (Paperback)
A clear, concise explanation of best practices and pitfalls for those
who would offer caregiving in a compassionate and Christ-like way. This is no sappy, do-gooder book... and it's no "fix-it" message either.

Christian Caregiving a Way of Life,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Christian Caregiving: A Way of Life (Paperback)
This is an excellent book that we have used to teach Christian Care Giving in three churches. It also serves as a text book for the Stephens Ministry basic course. The book is good on its own, but works best when its contents are discussed in a class seting.
