Reviews

This book provides wonderful case studies that will help practicing chaplains reflect on their work and those in training learn from some of the best. It should be read by spiritual care providers and chaplains no matter where and with whom they work. -- Wendy Cadge, Professor of Sociology, Brandeis University
