Description:... "Pamela R. McCarroll's central metaphor, 'waiting at the foot of the cross', jumps off the page and comes to life - that is exactly what chaplains, supervisors, and ministers do when they engage in care with sufferers. Her theological case studies represent one of the best examples in print of an inductive method - the one that chaplains, supervisors, students, and parish minsters actually use in practice. While we have many good books which demonstrate the theory of pastoral care and use examples and vignettes in an illustrative manner, we have few that so directly demonstrate pastoral theological method while teaching students method and content of theology that will serve them in their pastoral care-oriented work."--Jacket.
