"Radically updated and highly relevant to contemporary crisis situations, Crisis Counseling takes a focused approach by offering carefully conceived models and strategies for ordinary and extreme crises with lots of illustrations and case examples. At the same time, it takes a sweeping approach to this ministry of the church, discussing both lay and clergy roles, congregational support programs, and community resources for helping those in crisis." --Christie Cozad Neuger, Emerita Professor of Pastoral Theology and Pastoral Counseling, Brite Divinity School, Texas Christian University
"Howard Stone describes this expanded and revised edition as a 'vital lifeline' to comfort, restoration, and hope in situational and developmental crises. I would boldly call this classic a 'lifesaver.' Stone's adaptation of the A-B-C method of crisis intervention, applicable to both clergy and laity, has been used to save a life. I am witness. This book you must afford!" --Jeanne Stevenson-Moessner, Professor of Pastoral Care and Pastoral Theology at Perkins School of Theology, SMU
