Road to Emmaus: Pastoral Care with the Dying and Bereaved

Written from an evangelical Christian perspective, Road to Emmaus is a theologically thoughtful and intensely practical guide for pastors, pastoral care associates, and congregational volunteers. Practical suggestions abound--including talking with the dying, supporting families after traumatic losses, funerals and memorial services, counseling after mass tragedies and suicide, and ministering to unchurched people after a death.

The book is rich with anecdotes from the author's more than 25 years working with the dying and bereaved--as a hospice chaplain, pastor, and pastoral counselor. Here is strong biblical and historical theology of death and grief, with great practical ideas for pastoral caregivers who serve in the trenches.
