The Challenge of Caring: Bible-related Reflections

The Challenge of Caring: Bible-related Reflections

by Alexine Crawford (Author)

Synopsis

Behind the practicalities of caring for people who have reached the 'Fourth Age' lie stories of inner development and growth. Struck by how Bible characters had very much the same inner problems and conflicts, this title brings them alive, relating them to our own attitudes and situations today.
