"The depth and attentiveness of Dunlap's research and the compassion and beauty of her writing, make this book important reading." --Dorothy C. Bass, Director, Valparaiso Project on the Education and Formation of People in Faith "A challenging, hopeful book. Dunlap's insights may very well help us set right much that is wrong with today's care." --Will Willimon, Bishop, the North Alabama Conference of the United Methodist Church and Author of Worship as Pastoral Care Weaving theological, sociological, psychological, and pastoral perspectives together articulately and sensitively in her analysis of the insights gained of the ways these churches dealt with illness, Dunlap has modeled very well the ways in which congregational studies can yield fruit, not just for pastors and congregations, but for researchers across the disciplines. -- Pneuma 32
