Title: |
Tender Care: The Heart and Soul of Caring for God's Scattered Servants.
|
|
Rockford, IL: Barnabas Books.
2010
|
|
Summary: |
This book about the "heart and soul" was written by a group of seven people involved in member care of missionaries with Barnabas International. They met in Seabrook, Washington several times during a year, thus the name the Seabrook Seven. The authors are not all named because they work in sensitive areas. The book is more about who you should be than what you should do.
