I have successfully read Crisis counseling: A guide for Pastors and Professionals, now its time for practical application. While reading this book I thought of several different ministries within my local church assembly that could benefit from this book.

He makes a wonderful point in establishing the fact that this is not a one size fits all field, but one that should be tailored to your client. Furthermore, the fact that the author covers many of the material that would be found in psychology class, but with spiritual twist, is valuable to me.
