Soul Care & Soul Cure: An Introduction to Pastoral Care

By Paula M. Potter and James V. Potter

Man's soul is priceless, of value beyond measure - so valuable only God's first beloved son could redeem his fallen brothers and sisters, which he did through the Atonement. A great deal has been taught within the Body of Christ regarding our need to "crucify the flesh" and to "live and walk in the spirit" but little has been taught about one's responsibility concerning their soul.The need, purpose, goals and objectives of soul care and soul cure are far too often overlooked or misunderstood. In nine chapters, this book both reveals God's design for soul care and cure; it provides a pattern for developing church and community based Pastoral Care Ministries which, through a discipleship model, can help transform souls into God's model for humanity. It is a pattern that is both therapeutically efficacious and soul winning. Soul Care & Soul Cure is not only a concise introduction to pastoral care and counseling; it reveals God's plan for the care, cure and transformation of man's soul. It sets forth a plan which integrates the principles of biblical theology and effective practices of psychology, holding true to the tenets of each - a model of integrative soul care & cure.Soul Care & Soul Cure is an essential tool for pastors, chaplains, counselors, Christian workers, counseling students and all who are interested in the care, cure and transformation of man's soul.
