Foundations of Pastoral CareMost people focus on pastoral ministry the activities, programs, and outreach connected with the life of the church when considering the work of a pastor. But one of the most important parts of a minister's job is pastoral care activities such as compassion, healing, sustaining, guiding, and reconciling people to one another and to God. People today earnestly seek a minister who knows their names and cares about their hurts. Foundations of Pastoral

Most people focus on pastoral ministry--the activities, programs, and outreach connected with the life of the church--when considering the work of a pastor. But one of the most important parts of a minister's job is pastoral care--activities such as compassion, healing, sustaining, guiding, and reconciling people to one another and to God. People today earnestly seek a minister who knows their names and cares about their hurts.Foundations of Pastoral Care introduces both clergy and laity to the ministry skills and personal qualities needed to provide effective care for people inside and outside the church. With thorough examination, Professor Bruce Petersen traces the historical development of soul care from the primitive church and on through the centuries to the church of today. In unit one, he introduces the place of pastoral care in the local church. He emphasizes the unique responsibility of church leaders and pastors to provide spiritual guidance while caring for the physical and emotional needs of their people. In unit two, he examines the pastoral care roles clergy are asked to fill--shepherd, counselor, collaborator, and spiritual leader. In unit three, he addresses the need for a pastoral presence in the life of the church, and in unit four, he concludes with a discussion about the pastor's personal life and the importance of personal spiritual formation.Foundations of Pastoral Care provides the fundamental elements pastors and church leaders need to care for people in meaningful, personal ways with the love, compassion, and grace Christ showed during His ministry on earth.

The Ironman logo is a serious distraction.
Color: Black/Black/Digital Neg Display
A wonderful watch, with one serious problem: for me at least. The big Ironman Logo at 9 O'clock position is a very confusing element in this otherwise nice design: it competes and completely overwhelms the two Hands read-out. The Logo can give you misleading time: because one confuses it for the Minutes Hand. In a hurry, one is bound to make such mistakes -- call it a human error, but this one can have serious consequences, i.e. reading the wrong time. I have a couple of digital Ironman watches, and Timex does a great job with their usability and quality. This watch is of very high quality too. I love the dual display, and it is very practical. All this watch needs is a removal of the white Ironman logo. That would also make reading the digital readout easier. Please leave the Minute and Hour hand to their exact shape/design -- i.e. don't mess it up. This watch has the potential to be a much more user-friendly watch. I hope the next gen has a simple dial with hopefully even an easier digital readout. Please color the 'Start' Button Orange. I love the Orange Seconds hand. Overall: Size is good. Strap is good. A very good concept digi-ana. Very practical.

Lemon
Color: Red/Black/Digital
I love the watch design, but the watch itself is a complete lemon. I have bought this watch three separate times and it still does not work properly. The first time, the hour and minute hand swung freely in the watch. I returned it directly to Timex. The second time, I bought from Amazon thinking the first watch had defect and the return policy with Amazon is less cumbersome than Timex. Right out of the box, I set the date/time and played around with the features of the watch that I most commonly use, most the chrono function. When I press start on the chrono function, the watch completely blacks out and resets itself somehow, meaning I have to set the date/time again. I sent the watch back to Amazon for a replacement. When the new watch arrived...same issue...the watch resets itself every time I start the chrono function. Very disappointing. Come on, Timex. You are better than this.

Unfortunate
Color: Black/Black/Digital Neg Display
It’s a cool new design but the night light button stopped working within a month of buying it. Shouldn’t happen with a 150$ sports watch

Garbage
Color: Black/Black/Digital Neg Display
Absolute garbage. The date that came up was from 2022. Most buttons did not work. Once you got into changing the time, etc, the watch locked up and would not get out of 'timer' mode. The watch lost 10 minutes in three hours. Do not purchase.
