Grounded in the Living Word

About this book

Grounded in the Living Word responds to the disconnect between pastoral care and biblical interpretation in a unique and much-needed manner. In this cross-disciplinary conversation Denise Dombkowski Hopkins and Michael S. Koppel engage the intersections between biblical stories and human stories in order to assist care practitioners and Bible interpreters in the transformative work of healing pastors, communities, and ultimately, creation. Through their nuanced approach, the Bible reemerges as a powerful tool for spiritual care. Each chapter includes personal stories, questions for reflection, group excercises, take-away points and a closing prayer. - Publisher.
