written by James L. Brooks, M.Div.

This wonderful new resource for clergy and lay leaders weaves in-depth education about end of life care into the fabric of congregational life. It covers leadership development, congregational care and support, meeting the needs of ill and dying people through worship, and much more, always emphasizing how faith communities can help create an unbroken circle of caring.

This very carefully and thoughtfully organized book will help faith communities of all traditions rediscover what it means to offer hope throughout these challenging seasons of life. Its broad scope makes it useful as a model for any kind of community support in time of crisis, trauma, or grieving. Highly recommended!
