Always be ready to meet the moment when a need for care arises. Pastoral counseling can be a daunting, disorienting, and even dreaded part of the job for many people in ministry. But it is a nonnegotiable task, especially for pastors-a crucial way to share the love of Christ. And the need may arise at any moment, in any setting. Kairos Care teaches a theologically sensitive, practical framework for providing focused, time-limited pastoral care and counsel. It is a book for students, pastors, and ministers of all kinds who seek to improve their counseling skills and readiness. A powerful diagram clearly illustrates the framework, making the kairos model easy to remember and practice. Real life stories and examples throughout are relatable and reassuring.

This extremely useful book will equip and empower pastors and others in ministry to offer genuine Christian care in moments large and small. Book jacket.
