Synopsis from bakerpublishinggroup.com

Comprehensive, creative, and up-to-date, Baker's Pastoral Handbooks have become indispensable resources for pastors, lay leaders, and seminary students. Now they are available in a convenient three-volume set. Each pocket-sized book has leather binding and a ribbon marker and includes planning charts to photocopy.

Baker's Wedding Handbook includes updated ceremonies from eleven denominations. In addition to wedding ceremonies, services for the renewal of vows, remarriage, and the blessing of a civil ceremony are included. It gives suggestions for vows, prayers, candlelighting, communion, Scripture readings, and music.

Baker's Funeral Handbook frees a minister to concentrate on comforting instead of funeral service planning. It includes funeral and memorial services from nine denominations, graveside services, and special situation services. Resources for planning services and messages are provided, including quotations, illustrations, and last words.

Baker's Worship Handbook helps readers prepare and plan a variety of traditional or contemporary services, including communion, baptisms, dedications, special occasions, and weekly services. It is a handy reference tool not only for pastoral staff members and musicians but also for lay members of worship planning groups.

Baker's Pastoral Handbooks are also available individually.
