| Looking at some of the critical cargiving issues in the church
today, Soul Care offers practical help to some not so easy to
answer questions. Divided into ten chapters each chapter opens with
the aim of the chapter, then moves to a description of the pastoral
care problem under review and concludes by asking some penetrating
questions for discussion, reflection and action. The first chapter
looks at the biblical basis for caregiving. Two chapters deal with
high-need factors in the church such as depression, suicide, money
matters, to mention a few. The deacon and care group delivery systems
for caregiving are looked at in more detail. This book is intended
as a training manual. However, it will not ask the easy questions and
allow for one-word or one-sentence answers. It is a manual that will
need a leader to guide you through the book. The questions are framed
to enhance discussion and to help the congregational caregivers
actively engage the issues that are highlighted. A brief bibliography
is provided to help whet the appetite for more reading and additional
training. Suggestions are also given of when outside help should be
sought, thus relieving the caregivers of unnecessary burdens.

| John Toews with Eleanor Loewen draw on their expertise in mental
health to address such topics as the interrelatedness of social,
emotional, physical, and spiritual selves; emotions that hurt or heal;
depression; addictions; schizophrenia; grief; and suicide. Just as
we walk with persons who are physically ill, so we must learn to walk
with those suffering mental illness. This book encourages the faith
community to understand and support individuals and families affected
by mental health problems. Copyright 1995. Designed for use in
conjunction with the book, the ten segment video is a powerful
presentation suitable for churches, Sunday schools, and small groups.
