Through the writings of nineteen leading voices in the history of pastoral care, Dykstra shows how each contributor developed a metaphor for understanding pastoral care. Such metaphors include the solicitous shepherd, the wounded healer, the intimate stranger, the midwife, and other tangible images. Through these works, the reader gains a sense of the varied identities of pastoral care professionals, their struggles for recognition in this often controversial field, and insight into the history of the disciple."--

I have read this book again and again. I am an educator of adults who are being trained to work in healthcare ministry. My students learn so much about the different ways that people perceive them when they are present to help during a health crisis. I have observed people have aha moments while reading and reviewing chapters from this book. I would recommend this book to anyone who feels that they are called to minister to people in crisis.
