5.0 out of 5 stars practical tips for crisis counseling, May 24, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Crisis Counseling (Hardcover)

I am studying for the ministry. This book was recommended by a pastor friend. I have been training with him. We recently had an individual die of cancer at a young age. I had lots of questions and concerns aout being able to help the family. This book helped me to understand what each of the family members were dealing with concerning this loss. I personally have not lost a cost relative, so I did not know what this family was feeling. Chapter 7 gave me a good overall understanding about how each member of the family was feeling and how I can best assist them in the grieving process. I highly recommend this book to anyone who faces life and death issues. It will help!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for those in ministry or preparing for ministry, July 31, 2004

This review is from: Crisis Counseling (Hardcover)

Counseling is a must in ministry but to do no harm is also very important but often we do nothing to do know harm and that is a mistake. This book is very practical and gives volumes of valuable information that every minister or potential minister should read. I even have my secretary read portions of this book so when the crisis comes to her door or phone she would be able to truly help. Wright does a wonderful job of communicating vital principals.

Counseling is a vast field and in some cases there is no right or wrong answer but this is a great place to start.
