The Human Element

The Human Element: A Christian Perspective on Life, Learning, and Ministry offers essential practical insights for faithful ministry to individuals at every stage of life—from before birth to old age. Embracing a holistic approach that combines practical wisdom with theological depth, the authors address faithful ministry for:

• Infancy
• Early childhood
• School years
• Young adulthood
• Middle adulthood
• Senior adulthood

Each chapter follows a basic framework presenting key research and developmental theories for the age group, theological and ministry insights, and practical steps that readers can take to serve individuals in that age group more comprehensively. Pastors, seminarians, and ministry practitioners of all kinds will find in this book a practical and edifying resource for faithful ministry to every age group.
