Recommendations for Visit the Sick:

“What do pastors do when visiting the sick? Such visits are crucial both eternally and pastorally.  Brian Croft has written a marvelous piece to assist us.  His work is theologically grounded, gospel centered, and full of practical wisdom.  I recommend it enthusiastically.”
Thomas R. Schreiner, Professor of New Testament Interpretation, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, KY; Teaching Pastor, Clifton Baptist Church, Louisville, KY

Visit the Sick is an excellent and much-needed resource today when the actual practice of “shepherding souls” is so often neglected.  Many younger pastors (and not so young ones as well) have never received the sort of very practical guidance which Brian Croft gives in this book.  This book has the potential to be a great blessing to pastors and those they shepherd.  It will now be a recommended text in my Pastoral Ministries class and I heartily commend it to others.
