Speaking Hope

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Speaking Hope is a theoretically sound and practical methodology for lay pastoral caregivers in the Christian faith community. Frankly, it can also inform local pastors in their caregiving as well. What seems most helpful to me is that Dr. Holland emphasizes beginning with a person’s strengths, and that the person seeking help is the expert on his or her problem. This is a well written and very useful guide for lay people in the local church.”
