Overview

Paul Coulter outlines a vision of pastoral care that is holistic in its approach to people in need and consistently shaped by the gospel. In an age when we are encouraged to look inside ourselves for strength and many look first to therapists for help with emotional and mental struggles, Keeping Care Pastoral argues that what people need most is care that is truly pastoral.
