A long white line runs down the center of the main corridor at Soledad State Prison. I walked that line every day. This facility, located in the Salinas Valley of California, housed three thousand inmates.Each inmate had a tale of woe, which explains the circumstances leading to their confinement. That's three thousand unique stories (a few of which were even true). When one adds to this number, the rationale provided by staff explaining why they chose prison employment, the number of stories increase.I ought to know; I was the Law Librarian. And I had stories of my own.Between the covers of this book are some of these stories. The tales are gritty, funny, uplifting and sad. The author notes that many, including Evangelicals, often claim "All Lives Matter." The writer examines historical events to determine the date that "All Lives" began to matter. The writer also notes the composition of the inmate population and connects this number to the "Black Lives Matter/All Lives Matter" movement.

The modern idea of pastoral care is care of people who are in crisis. In this insightful book, author David Pettett argues that rather than being confined to helping people in crisis, pastoral care is actually at the core of Christian ministry. Every aspect of what the pastor does is pastoral care. Pastoral care is first and foremost a spiritual discipline and remains firmly in the realm of theology, not psychology.As pastoral care is an exercise of practical theology, Christian pastoral care is the responsibility, first and foremost, of the pastor who has responsibility for the cure of souls. This responsibility is exercised primarily in a theological framework.In Pastoral Care: The Core of Christian Ministry, the main aim is to encourage pastor/teachers to see their entire ministry in terms of pastoral care. Equipping the saints for the work of ministry for building the body of Christ (Ephesians 4:12) is the work of pastoral care, which the pastor/teacher does by teaching the Scriptures. The book seeks to encourage a reversal of this alarming modern trend, which sees pastoral care as only something done for people in crisis.The book also seeks to reverse the trend of outsourcing pastoral care to counsellors and psychologists. It seeks to broaden the focus so that pastoral care is seen to be the whole essence of pastoral ministry. Pastoral care has a whole-of-life focus. From his long experience of Christian ministry, David illustrates practical pastoral care with real life situations. This is a book for pastors to consider the essential nature of Christian ministry and for lay people to think through just what their pastors are up to.

Reading the Bible has been one of the passions of my life for almost 50 years and in this short book I want to share my experience and with it underline the importance of reading the Bible.John 8:31 gives us a clue as to why this is so important. It reads - "Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed in him, if you CONTINUE in my word, THEN you are my disciples indeed."This teaches us that the only way to be a true and genuine disciple of Jesus is if we CONTINUE in his word.
