Here, in handy pocket or purse-sized format, is a nuts-and-bolts guide to visiting the elderly in a variety of settings, to offer pastoral care and spiritual comfort. Kirkwood offers readers a thorough overview of the aging process, including the challenges of dementia and a look at the unique emotional and spiritual needs of the elderly. This book offers help to those who want to make visits to the elderly more meaningful.

Dr. Neville Kirkwood is an author, lecturer, and preacher, and has served in a cross-cultural mission in India and as a hospital chaplain in Australia. He has a doctorate of ministry from San Francisco Theological Seminary in San Anselmo, California, and currently resides in Australia.

"This book is a good, brief introductory reference for an individual's use when interacting with the aged in many settings. It would be an appropriate reference text for visitation ministry participants. It is appropriate for personal, congregational, and academic libraries."--CSLA-Church and Synagogue Library Assoc., May June 2007
