The Dynamics of Pastoral Care

I'm using this book as a text to teach a class on pastoral care, and I love it! There is a myriad of books available today on what it means to be a pastor, ranging from titles bashing church growth techniques to works heralding the modern-day pastor as a church CEO. This book covers the Biblical basics of shepherding for church leaders and pastors, and covers them well. The author acknowledges a place for managerial skill, but he asserts that the primary role of a church leader/pastor is to shepherd the sheep. I recommend this book enthusiastically!
