教牧關顧是在特定的空間，與一個特定的人，把神學實踐出來。

美國亞馬遜書店5顆星好評推薦
馬丁路德是知名憂鬱症患者，也是卓越出眾的神學和牧養冒險家。
他的書信寫作被譽為「一種製造神蹟的體栽」，奄奄一息的人讀了之後說：「路德的信真的讓我起死回生！」
2008年，作者參與三位憂鬱症學生的教牧諮商，與他們分享幾封馬丁路德的勸慰書信，出乎意料的是，這些已有五百年歷史的信件強而有力地對學生們的生命景況說話，遠超過作者和其他關顧者提供的協助。
作者深入發掘更多路德寫給憂鬱症者的勸慰信，從最具原創性也最有趣的102封書信中選出21封，敘事角度有如親臨個別教牧諮商現場，窺見路德神學應用在生命困境和信心掙扎時刻的樣貌。
路德的寫作有一種驚人的坦率和精準，獨特的「凍齡」語言能對準現代人，善用聖經經文的良藥醫治靈魂。當代讀者在路德這位既是憂鬱症病友又是關顧憂鬱症患者的牧師身上找到：憂鬱症並非信仰失敗，而是信仰歷程的一部分，甚至可被視為邁向靈性成長的標記。
Of Good Comfort : Martin Luther’s Letters to the Depressed and Their Significance for Pastoral Care Today
Pastoral care for those suffering from depression is a crucial issue for pastors today. Martin Luther, a renowned sufferer of depression and an outstanding theologian and pastoral adventurer, wrote numerous letters of comfort to those he pastored who were also suffering from depression. This book, selected from 21 of Luther’s 102 letters, offers a glimpse into how Luther’s theology was applied to times of life’s difficulties and struggles of faith. His dissertation won the 2014 President’s Award for Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation. Adapted from his dissertation, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the history, medicine, and psychological counseling related to depression, focusing on Luther’s theology and methods of pastoral care. It reveals the wisdom and inspiration needed for self-care, caring for others, and developing the art of helping others.
Pastoral care is the practice of theology in a specific space, with a specific person.
This is the first complete collection of 21 letters from Martin Luther to those suffering from depression. It has received a 5-star rating on Amazon.com.
Martin Luther was a renowned sufferer of depression and an outstanding theologian and pastoral adventurer.
His epistolary writing has been hailed as “a medium for creating miracles,” with one dying person saying, “Luther’s letters truly brought me back to life!”
In 2008, the author participated in pastoral counseling with three students suffering from depression, sharing several letters of encouragement from Martin Luther. Unexpectedly, these 500-year-old letters spoke powerfully to the students’ life circumstances, far exceeding the assistance provided by the author and other caregivers.
The author delves deeper into Luther’s letters of encouragement to those suffering from depression, selecting 21 from 102 of the most original and interesting letters. The narrative perspective is akin to being present at an individual pastoral counseling session, offering a glimpse into how Luther’s theology was applied to moments of life’s difficulties and struggles of faith.
Luther’s writing possesses a remarkable frankness and precision; his uniquely youthful language resonates with modern people, skillfully using the remedies of biblical texts to heal the soul. Contemporary readers find in Luther, a pastor who was both a sufferer of depression and a caregiver for those with depression, that depression is not a failure of faith, but rather a part of the faith journey, and can even be seen as a marker of spiritual growth.
內容簡介：本書清晰梳理憂鬱症歷史、醫學、心理諮商完備資訊，聚焦於路德牧養關顧的神學和方法。路德給憂鬱者的書信潛藏著今日照顧自己、關心他人及琢磨助人技藝所需的智慧和啟發。
