Free The Hospital Visit: A Pastor's Guide Ebooks Online
Hospital visitation is one of the most intimidating tasks new clergy face. Afraid of not knowing what to say when faced with situations of serious illness and death, uncertain of how to negotiate the maze of the medical establishment, unsure of themselves in the pastoral role generally, new pastors often don't know where to turn for help and advice about this central, yet tough, aspect of ministry. The Hospital Visit: A Pastor's Guide will help provide just this kind of guidance. Written with student pastors and pastors in the early years of their ministry in mind, it will explore the key situations all pastors encounter in hospital visitation. Beginning with the idea that pastoral care in the hospital setting consists of "Trialogue" between the pastor, the patient, and the presence of God, Michael L. Kirkindoll will explain the pastor's role in terms of six principal relationships: The pastor's relationship to the patient, to the family, to the local congregation, to the hospital chaplain, to doctors an other medical personnel,and finally, to the pastor's own woundedness. The book will conclude with prayers for the hospital bedside which the author has used in his own ministry, and which he has gathered from other experienced pastoral caregivers.

A good book for those who are entering chaplaincy in the hospital field, whether or not it is in the clerical field or the lay chaplaincy. This was one of the books referred to us in a class as "recommended reading". I bought the book to find out what was in it. While not everything pertains to my particular faith, there is enough in there that I can integrate into my duties as a Hospital Lay Visitor (lay chaplain) to make it worthwhile. It is an easy read and has something for almost every scenario. I recommend it to all who are in the pastoral care ministry.
Surprisingly, I learned things that I did not know. It is a very helpful tool in ministry & unpretentious.
Wonderful resource for those in pastoral ministry.
just as advertised. Great.
