The Pastor as Moral Guide (Creative Pastoral Care and Counseling)
"Rebekah Miles draws deeply from the richness of many intellectual streams in theology and ethics and identifies ways to tackle the hard questions of what to do when reflective listening, one the one hand, and religious absolutes, on the other, are poor responses to those in need. Many people have talked about the need for moral guidance as a critical part of pastoral care, but almost no one has put much meat on the bone. . . . Miles gives pastors lots of food for thought in a book that embodies her sensitivity and insights as a faithful pastor and her years of study and teaching in theological ethics." ---Bonnie Miller-McLemore Vanderbilt University Divinity School"This book is excellent---a genuine contribution to the slowly growing body of literature on ethics and pastoral care. It will be appreciated." ---Don Browning University of Chicago Divinity School
