It starts readers off on a path to formulate and define their own values based on biblical and historical instances of advocacy and ethics. It also offers a decision-making model for ethical dilemmas, discusses Christian distinctives that pertain to medical and death and dying decisions, and discusses frequently encountered ethical problems, like organ donation and life support. This extremely practical and detailed resource is one no pastor should be without.Mottram, Kenneth P. is the author of 'Caring for Those in Crisis Facing Ethical Dilemmas With Patients And Families', published 2007 under ISBN 9781587431913 and ISBN 1587431912.
