Editorial Reviews

Review

"One of the finest contributions to pastoral publishing this year..." (Preachings, 1/02)

Review

"A practical, thoughtful (and exceedingly thorough) resource no pastor should be without! Noren offers the kind of help many (new) pastors have longed for." — Jana Childers, professor of homiletics, San Francisco Theological Seminary

"A remarkably thorough and helpful resource. Noren offers valuable theological reflection, contextual analysis, and pastoral guidance for ministry in times of crisis and sorrow. I wish I had had this book when I was a pastor." — Charles L. Campbell, associate professor of homiletics, Columbia Theological Seminary, Decatur, Georgia

"In the year 2020, when ministers are asked which books in their library they depend on most often, Carol Noren's book will be in the top five. It addresses the most difficult area of ministry-with strong historical and theological roots, with relevance, clarity, warmth, and good humor. Indeed, the growing array of laity who give pastoral care will find their way in reading, and rereading, this book." — George G. Hunter III, dean, E. Stanley Jones School of World Mission and Evangelism

5.0 out of 5 stars EVERY pastor needs this book, February 15, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: In Times of Crisis and Sorrow - A Minister's Manual Resource Guide (Paperback)
This book outdoes every funeral manual I've ever seen. The depth and breadth of the essays and sermons---quite astonishing! On the one hand, this book is extremely practical in its guidance. And on the other, the book provides important theological background for understanding national, local, and personal crises---something that is missing from the other funeral manuals I own.

I've concluded that this is not really a funeral manual--it's much more, and therefore will remain on my desk for many years to come. Except that two weeks ago I loaned it to a therapist friend, and I'm afraid I'll never get it back!

This is an instant classic in the field that I doubt will ever become outdated.
