Hi,
Am planning to spend a bit more reading in the whole area of pastoral care and counselling and just wondered which of the Logos resources you found most helpful??
Let me know
James
I've been intrigued by what I've read in Thomas Oden's 4 Vol Classical Pastoral Care
If you own an older base package (pre KF) I know it was included in Scholar's Silver; it is currently not in a base package
The Contemplative Pastor, by Eugene Peterson; although more for the Pastor to reflect on inwardly, Peterson writes on issues of pastoring that I would think you could find applicable to pastoral care. Plus this book is just an incredibly great read. Peterson writes very well

I concur with Paul that Oden's series is a good overview with some very good principles and examples. You'll also probably want to add something along the lines of one of the Pastoral Care collections when convenient at some future date. Take a look at these examples:
Jay Adams has great material through Zondervan available in the Biblical Counseling Collection mentioned by Brother Mark.
Thanks a lot very helpful
Practical Wisdom for Pastors

If you have Scholars, you already have it. I really liked this book. Here's what other "better-knowns" said about from the product page:
I wish this book had been available when I began in ministry more than 35 years ago. As I read, I found my own enthusiasm for pastoral ministry invigorated, and even as a veteran pastor, I found much I could benefit from.
—John MacArthur
The beginning workman in God’s vineyard could hardly find a more practical, helpful, and instructive work than this book. With sound judgment, good taste, and a mature knowledge of the pitfalls challenging every pastor, Curtis Thomas brings together the real hands-on, how-to-do-it advice that can make the road a lot smoother.
—D. James Kennedy
Thomas has done a great service for all pastors, young or old.
—Adrian Rogers
A great gift that will both guide and encourage ministers in this highest of all callings.
—R. Albert Mohler, Jr.
Reviving this to point out that this book is on Logos' Daily (Twitter) Deal - check out https://twitter.com/logos
