Caring Through the Funeral A Pastor's Guide

Caring through the Funeral is a guidebook to take pastors through the complete funeral process from the moment the call is received. More than just a "how-to," Caring through the Funeral uniquely addresses the funeral process from the perspective of pastoral ministry-of pastoral caring throughout the time of mourning, from the death through post-funeral grieving. Both descriptive and conceptual, Fowler's practical advice, solid pastoral and theological grounding, and case illustrations explore what pastors go through at each stage of the funeral process. Includes a comparison of four different Protestant liturgical books and the elements that comprise a Christian funeral, as well as sample services.Fowler, Gene is the author of 'Caring Through the Funeral A Pastor's Guide', published 2004 under ISBN 9780827204935 and ISBN 0827204930.
