This is more like a textbook for pediatric chaplaincy. It is very informative and comprehensive- a great resource for pastoral care of children in hospital settings.

A rare compendium on the field of pediatric chaplaincy. I found the array of essays and perspectives mostly intriguing, with only a few outliers. It's wonderful to have recent work on the subject as a resource for my practice.
