A Counselor's Prayerbook

This lovely volume contains prayers for the counselor, for the counselor and client, for the client and ends with a series of rituals for healing. The prayers are beautifully and simply written, covering a wide range of issues and topics, including illness, unemployment, death, aging and abuse. This would make a wonderful gift or resource for any clergyperson, pastoral counselor or lay minister.

This is a wonderful prayerbook. As a therapist, I keep it by my chair. I often review a particular prayer right before a client arrives so that I can feel centered and open to the next person who enters my room. The prayers are written clearly and beautifully. My clients who are spiritually inclined have enjoyed hearing some of the prayers that reflect their own issues and situations, such as being angry with God, or having been sexually molested. I highly recommend this book for therapists and psychotherapy clients alike.
