Cody J. Sanders argues that spiritual care is inherently cultivated in
every vibrant community--congregations and otherwise--and that every
community member contributes to providing care for others. However,
many congregation and community members lack confidence in their
caring skills. In Spiritual Care First Aid, Sanders provides an
accessible introduction to spiritual care characterized by mutuality,
empathy, and compassion. Recognizing that not everyone is a clinician,
Sanders provides instruction in basic skills of spiritual care in a
way nearly anyone can use. The book offers an approach of hearing,
helping, and healing so whoever is near can serve as a spiritual-care
first responder when and where needed. Readers will gain skills and
confidence in their abilities to provide peer-to-peer care that
contributes to their communities in life-sustaining ways. Spiritual
Care First Aid is an ideal training resource for seminary classrooms,
particularly skill-building or pastoral care and counseling courses
for non-clinicians. The book will also serve as a go-to field manual
for lay ministry schools, congregations, and adjacent communities such
as campus ministries and nonprofit organizations that train laypeople
in spiritual care, as well as for pastors who desire to develop
robust, practical care skills.
