Acknowledgements

Many chaplains and chaplain-interns will be exclaiming: ""Where has this book been before now!?"" Golding and Dixon have given us a much-needed, ethically sensitive, pithy, and eminently practical guide to spiritual care with a particularly challenging patient population, affirming that silence and the ""ministry of presence"" is a profound gift to both patients and their families - and can be a deepening spiritual experience for the caregiver as well.
