Synopsis from bakerpublishinggroup.com

Summary: A comprehensive handbook covering the ministries of evangelism, missions, counseling, and Christian education.

Through the joint effort of Leadership journal and Baker Book House, three handbooks have been developed giving ministers and ministerial students a collection of resource material from the most respected names in the church today. In the Leadership Handbook of Outreach and Care, John Perkins, Rebecca Manley, Carl George, Gary Collins, and many others provide the reader with insights from their areas of expertise.

Dealing with the areas of evangelism, missions, social involvement, pastoral care, pastoral counseling, Christian education, and chaplaincies, this handbook gives an up-to-date survey with practical advice by men and women from a variety of denominations and traditions. A wide range of outreach subjects are covered, including targeting age and social groups, revitalizing stagnant ministries, providing ministry to battered women, and reaching latchkey kids.

Go, therefore, and teach all nations. . .

Nearly two hundred articles--most never before in print--present the principles and practices that guide church leaders and congregations in the work of:

EVANGELISM ? MISSIONS ? SOCIAL INVOLVEMENT ? PASTORAL CARE ? COUNSELING ? CHAPLAINCIES ? CHRISTIAN EDUCATION

Each section includes major articles and sidebars that offer counsel on planning, preparing, and doing ministry where the needs are.
