| "This clear look at pastoral counseling from an Anabaptist-Mennonite perspective
focuses on the congregation as the locus for pastoral counseling. The writers make a
convincing case for pastoral counseling as a ministry of the church. Yet their
examination of pastoral counseling in other settings and in various cultural contexts
broadens the discussion of where and how pastoral counseling can be practiced."-
