Ancient Wisdom for the Care of Souls

Coleman Ford and Shawn Wilhite examine resources from the early church to provide practical guidance for pastoral care and spiritual formation in modern congregational contexts.

They introduce classical practices and theological insights for tending the inner life of Christians, arguing for continuity between ancient wisdom and contemporary pastoral needs.

The book addresses how pastors and leaders can shepherd souls with tools drawn from the tradition, including prayer, spiritual disciplines, and formation practices.

It seeks to bridge historical theology and everyday ministry, offering accessible instruction for pastors, ministry leaders, and Christians pursuing deeper spiritual growth.
