Synopsis

Deeply rooted in the traditions of the church, Taylor brings both the resources of faith and the skills of contemporary psychology to bear in the crucial arena of premarital guidance. Taylor also provides helpful guidelines for churches in establishing congregational policies for both premarital counseling and the design of the wedding service itself. The book is an ideal resource for clergy, premarital counselors, and congregational wedding committees.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

"In Premarital Guidance, Charles Taylor does not rehash well-worn phrases about marriage. He combines systems theory, cognitive therapy, sociological data, and the traditions of the church with pastoral theology and pastoral care from a new and fresh perspective . . . an eminently practical book. ---Howard W. Stone Brite Divinity School Texas Christian University
