Pastoral Care in Pregnancy Loss

By Thomas Moe

Book Overview

Pastoral Care in Pregnancy Loss introduces the religious community to the issue of pregnancy loss and describes the ministries that can be helpful to those who experience these tragedies. Effective ministry in pregnancy loss requires that one develop basic life theories in order to prepare for such in-depth care. Thus, the book is more than a "how to" as it explores why there is suffering and why some suffer more than others, how to find grace when God seems far away, how to minister when we don't have answers, and how religious ministry can consistently work with other helping professionals in support of the individual.

Customer Reviews

Excellent resource for those in pregnancy loss ministry!

It was so wonderful to find this book, which validates pregnancy loss as an issue for the Christian church and pastors. Moe not only authenticates the relevance of this experience as a viable ministry within the church, but also gives very practical suggestions for pastors and others interested in ministry.
