Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Caring for others is sacred work. But who cares for the caregiver?Chaplains, pastors, ministers, healthcare professionals, spiritual counselors, and family caregivers regularly enter some of life's most difficult moments. They sit beside hospital beds, walk into hospice rooms, comfort grieving families, listen when there are no easy answers, and offer hope when circumstances cannot be changed.But caring for others can take a toll on the person doing the caring.In Anointed to Care: Christian Reflections for Those Who Serve, pastor and board-certified chaplain Major A. Stewart, MBA, DMin, BCC, offers 52 brief Christian reflections drawn from years of pastoral ministry, healthcare chaplaincy, and walking alongside people during illness, grief, suffering, and loss.Rooted in Scripture and shaped by real-life caregiving, these reflections explore compassion, presence, listening, grief, prayer, boundaries, rest, unanswered prayers, spiritual strength, and the difficult but necessary practice of trusting God with outcomes beyond our control.At the heart of this book is a liberating truth: being called to care does not mean being called to carry everything.Jesus is our model for compassionate care, but He is also our Savior. We are called to serve faithfully, not to become indispensable. We can enter the room with compassion, offer what God has entrusted to us, and trust Him with what remains beyond our hands.Each reflection includes Scripture, practical encouragement for those who care, a thought to carry with you, a reflection question, and prayer, making the book ideal for personal devotion, chaplain and ministry teams, caregiver groups, staff encouragement, and Christian spiritual-care settings.Anointed to Care is for those who keep showing up for others and sometimes need to be reminded that they, too, are worthy of care.You are anointed to care. But you were never called to care alone.
