Shackled by a Heavy Burden

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“It was during the 2001-2004 quadrennium that I taught the polity course for students at Vanderbilt Divinity School, Nashville. Kennard was one of those students. In this book, Kennard shares his passion for pastoral counseling, and indicates why pastoral counseling is so vital for effective ministry, especially among African American parishioners. Any caring pastor and layperson will find Ken's research informing and insightful as they seek to minister to persons in times of crises and distress.”
