Compassionate Care: The Enhanced Mission of the Sacramental Church to those facing Life-Threatening Illness and to the Dying

Finally, we have a book which describes the requirements and techniques for the provision of Christian ‘Compassionate Care’ from a Sacramental Church perspective. ‘Compassionate Care’ as described by the Rev. Dr. David Sokol is one solution to a dramatically growing need of the Church; support of individuals who experience life-threatening illness and individuals who are actively dying and their family members. You will learn what is necessary to become a ‘Compassionate Care Companion’ to all Christians, those from non-Christian perspectives and those with no belief at all! You will find information which will serve as practical advice, reference resources, and applicable tools to be used in interaction with individuals of varying faith traditions. This book is designed to be used either as individual reading matter or as a resource for small group training sessions.
