Weddings and funerals, like few other occasions, offer pastors the opportunity to give direction and encouragement to individuals when their hearts are more open to God . . . and to those individuals attending these events who may otherwise never hear God's message. This handbook, a compilation of tested ideas and resources by pastors, provides just the tool pastors need--young pastors will appreciate the advice of experienced ministers to help them get started, and veteran pastors will benefit from fresh ideas that add meaning to services they've performed dozens of times. Includes difficult situations like the death of a child and second marriages.
There are many events in life that deserve the utmost attention and care. "A Contemporary Handbook for Weddings & Funerals and Other Occasions" is a guide to these major events in life, and how to make them more meaningful and memorable for all involved. With advice on wedding vows, eulogies, and communion, " A Contemporary Handbook for Weddings & Funerals and Other Occasions" is a solid Christian guide especially recommended to anyone in charge of these events.
good foundational book

I thought that this was a very good all around start for someone who is just getting into ministry. It is laid out nicely, in a contemporary fashion, even though the content was traditional. I had expected more unique ideas and suggestions. Overall, it was well worth purchasing.
The Perfect Tool for a Busy Pastor

The authors have thought of everything. The busy pastor need only flip and find what he's looking for. It is not a resource to copy, but a resource that helps you think through things that you may not have even thought about. It is a resource for covering all of your bases whether it be for a funeral, a wedding, a dedication, or a special event like an ordination. Highly recommended!!
