The art of listening lies at the heart of pastoral ministry.
Listening establishes a genuine relationship between persons and
creates an environment for authentic dialogue. This book provides a
comprehensive study of the art of listening for those currently
practicing or studying for vocations in pastoral care and
counseling.
Neil Pembroke constructs a practical theology of what it means
to be a supportive, healing, growth-promoting caregiver. He builds
his theology on the work of Gabriel Marcel and Martin Buber, two
philosophers who posited meeting or dialogue as primary in
interpreting the nature of human existence in the world. Throughout
the book Pembroke applies the approach of these two thinkers to the
practical task of pastoral care, showing that meaningful
person-to-person dialogue is the result of availability, which
involves reception of the other, and confirmation, which encourages
others to grow into their God-endowed potential.
The first book to isolate and present in practical terms the
essential components of effective pastoral care, this book is must
reading for everyone involved in the professions.
