Summary:

Healing from past wounds requires hard work. It involves effectively examining of an individual's past, as well as remaining conscientious of the changes in his or her present behavior, thinking, and spiritual life. But what if, after all of that listening and examining, you still don't know what to say, what to do, or where to start? The Pastoral Counseling Handbook offers the much needed message of hope for the hurting and for those who desire to help them. Based on the healing work of Christ, author Ruth Hetzendorfer uses her personal experience of years of counseling to provide the steps and ideas to help you gain understanding and wisdom, and more effectively counsel others.
