"When the Church Stops Caring" was released by Trafford Publishing in August, 2005.  The book was written by Beth Murray -- Registered Psychologist in the province of Alberta and former Pastor of Care Ministries at Beulah Alliance Church in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.     About the Book Have you ever been involved in church and not felt cared for?  Have you been frustrated by the apparent lack of love and concern within the church community?  Come on an investigative journey into the world of Christian care.    Beth Murray takes an in depth look at the crisis of care ministries in the church.  She defines care, looks into reclaiming "Christian hospitality," examines issues of cultural relevance and pulls out four levels of care as defined in scripture.  Building on these four levels, Murray presents ways to build care, love and concern into the Christian community.  This is a transformational work regarding the need to resurrect and revamp how we do "care" in the church.   Murray combines humour, inspiration, Biblical scholarship, psychological principles and a caring lens to address the present crises related to care in the North American church.  The book is engaging, challenging and provocative--hopefully it will prompt life change and creativity in how you view God, yourself, family, friends, strangers and the body of Christ--the Christian church.   About the Author Beth Murray is a Registered Psychologist and Church Consultant in private practice in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.  She is an accredited member of the Clergy with the Christian and Missionary Alliance of Canada.  She holds an undergraduate degree from Rocky Mountain College in Calgary, Alberta and is a graduate of Asbury Theological Seminary in Wilmore, Kentucky (M.A. in Counselling).  Murray has experience in private practice, church settings, and an inpatient eating disorder facility.  She is a Registered Psychologist in the province of Alberta, and an eating disorders specialist.    Beth Murray is available for speaking engagements, retreats, training sessions and special presentations.  Her unique form of combining humour with God's truths provides a captivating and enjoyable way of learning.  She has done stand-up comedy and made professional presentations including a workshop at the 2003 World Conference for the American Association of Christian Counselors.    A one-day workshop based on the book is available for church, small group, business and other settings.  To transform your sphere of influence into a caring community, contact: bethmurray@bethmurray.com    Beth Murray, Registered Psychologist Suite 210, Belmead Professional Building 8944 - 182 Street Edmonton, Alberta T5T 2E3 Canada Phone: (780)264-3456   To visit the publisher's web site, click on the following link: http://www.trafford.com/4dcgi/view-item?item=8562   Web-only SALE offer! -- To order directly from the author, you can use PayPal.  Simply sign into PayPal.com and input your information to buy the book, "When the Church Stops Caring," using my e-mail address, bethmurray@bethmurray.com  The cost of the book is $13.99 CDN plus $1.70 CDN shipping for orders in Canada.  For orders to the U.S., include $3.00 CDN for shipping.  For orders of 5-9 books, you will receive a 10% discount.  For 10 or more books, you will receive a 20% discount.
