Two Books in One

As a preaching minister I have found myself going to Robert Blair's book numerous times for help and suggestions in ministering in two of the most emotional times in a person's life -- marriage and death. I would highly recommend this book to any one who is involved in these area's on peoples lives. You will keep it close for quick reference.

Great for all Ministers

This book is excellent in every way. Most books on homiletics cover 5-10 pages on these subjects (if anything at all); here is a resource book with over 200 pages. It is very informative (on what to do) and filled with several practical examples (on how to do it) of ministry during these important times in people's lives. For the student preparing for ministry, the "rookie" or experienced minister, this book is a must. It is "as good as it gets" on these subjects.

Helpful for the non-clergy too!

This book is not only helpful to the clergy but to anyone who is trying to plan a wedding or a funeral. The author calls on his many years of experience conducting weddings and funerals in laying out the proper steps needed to organize either event regardless whether you are a minister or not. Mr.Blair approaches both events with respect and humor. This book is an absolute must have!

A Must for Pastors

There may not be two areas of ministry that touch the lives of people more then funerals and weddings! Therefore, to excel in exemplifying Christ during these times is a must for pastors and servant-leaders who are called on to conduct such services and minister to family members at such a time as these. Not only have I read "The Funeral and Wedding Handbook" by Robert Blair, I keep it ready as an immediate reference and reminder of my responsibility to the families whom I serve. This book should be on every pastor's library shelf and a requirement for reading by every pastoral student. Pastor Gregg Johnson Crossroads Christian Church

Great Resource

I found this book to be a great resource for my own planning of funerals. As a fairly new pastor, I found the great advice Bob gives is priceless. Helpful hints, stories, Scriptures, and sample funeral messages all combine to make a easy to read resource.
