Jill McGilvray has had extensive experience in pastoral care, both as a pastoral worker at St Matthew's in West Pennant Hills and as a bereavement counsellor at the National Centre for Childhood Grief. In God's Love in Action she introduces the biblical basis for caring for one another and covers lay pastoring, pastoral spiritual gifts, skills for caring, principles of caring in particular situations, and tools for caring.

This short book is a must for all looking for wisdom on how to care for others in the body of Christ.
