Thus the effective group leader or counselor will be the person who learns how to listen to other people. By studying and employing these listening skills, church leaders will engage others more compassionately, allowing them to feel that their needs are being met. The skills can be used with persons who are terminally ill, inactive at church, going through a divorce, in a family with a severely ill person, unemployed, seeking a new church, grieving, traumatized by catastrope, going through teenage adolescence, in marriage counseling, or leading a ministry team.\" \"John Savage offers eleven specific and teachable listening skills for improving relationships among those who do ministry in small-group settings or when offering counsel to others. The skills are taught through oral exercises and unfailingly helpful examples from actual congregational situations. The skills include paraphrase, productive questions, perception check, expression of feelings and emotions, fogging, negative inquiry, behavior description, and story listening.\"--BOOK JACKET.\n\nPublished in: Nashville\n\nPhysical description: 152 pages ; 23 cm.","bookEdition":null,"offers":{"@type":"Offer","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OutOfStock"}}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Book","name":"Model marriage : a marriage counselling handbook.","author":"Heward-Mills, Dag.","isbn":"9988596502","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Hosanna Christian Bookshop & Publishing House"},"datePublished":"2011","inLanguage":"English","description":"Published in: Benin City: Nigeria\n\nPhysical description: 303pages","bookEdition":null,"offers":{"@type":"Offer","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OutOfStock"}}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"item":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Book","name":"Pastoral care emergencies \/ David K.

How do I negotiate relationships with people who I may counsel on one day and from whom I must seek a housing allowance on the next? Can I be psychologically adept while remaining theologically faithful? Offering a wealth of insight into these and other fundamental issues, Dittes suggests that pastoral counseling \"is, finally, more a matter of the heart or the soul than the head, more a matter of faith than works, an attitude and posture more than a technique or skill\". - from back cover.\n\nPublished in: Louisville, Ky.\n\nPhysical description: xii, 161 pages ; 19 cm.","bookEdition":"1st ed.","offers":{"@type":"Offer","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OutOfStock"}}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":7,"item":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Book","name":"Pastoral counseling with adolescents and young adults \/ Charles M.
