Essay Instructions: Write a (no-less-than) three-page to (no-more-than) four-page, SINGLE-SPACED book review of Pastoral Care Emergencies by David K.Switzer (2000). Included in this review must be descriptions of three or four fresh insights from the reading about the Christian church. Explain how the author reshaped or spurs thinking about ministry in the present post-modern culture. How have his thoughts reshaped and sharpened pastoral identity, awareness, and development? These MUST be included in the review.
Post Script: The last paper I ordered was 'garbage'; I had to ask for an extension and rewrite the paper myself. If I had the time, I would write this one. I am working on my Master's and I do not not want to see grammatical errors or a lack of thinking on the part of the writer. If you are unable to do this, please advise quickly and I will ask for an extension and do it myself - it will lower my grade but so will a bad book review.
It would be helpful if the writer is well versed in Christian thought, servant leadership of Pastors, and have actual insights regarding Switzer's opinions. It is a small book (189 page paperback). This will not be difficult if the book is read. If you quote Switzer, cite the page.
