This is the last of the books I am going to be reviewing as a whole. The rest of the series while be looking at different features but not the book or books as a whole.
The Pastoral Companion is a great book for when the pastor is on the go. It deals with hospital and home visits when people are hurting. It also deals with funerals, celebrations, lifetime changes and other times when a pastor is needed outside of his office or regular worship. It is part hymnal and part counseling aid. It a guide to comforting scripture and hymns to help with the big events in one's life. A lay person can get comfort from this from reading the section related to their life situation. It is by no means a replacement to the pastor but a tool that both pastor and laity both can make use of.
