Gerald v. Miller's New Book, "Pastoral Counseling: Where One Encounters the Enormity of God's Love" Discusses the Counseling of the Spiritually Broken and Disturbed.
Washington, DC, March 23, 2018 (Newswire.com) - Monsignor Gerald V.A. Miller, SSM, MDiv, ThD, PhD, a Catholic priest, and a licensed professional counselor, social worker, and clinical psychologist, has completed his new book, “Pastoral Counseling: Where One Encounters the Enormity of God's Love”: a potent discourse on the significance of spiritual counseling and its impact on reminding the afflicted of the love and grace of God to the spiritually lost.
Miller shares, “Pastoral presence is the pastor’s ability to communicate care, concern, and reassurance simply through their presence. It is the skill of focusing on the individual and showing them the love of God throughout your session. The counselee needs to believe that you care for them just by your presence alone. Pastoral presence is vital to the field of pastoral counseling because it is one of the primary things that people look for when deciding to seek pastoral counseling rather than secular therapy. They are looking for godly advice and the presence of God in the midst of their situation. Therefore, it is important for us to radiate Christ in every session. This is done through the practice of pastoral presence. Pastors must always display their spirituality and radiate their oneness with Christ; otherwise, it is not pastoral presence.”
Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Gerald V. Miller’s new book takes inspiration from the parable of the prodigal son, where the ultimate goal of every counseling session is healing and understanding.
