Judson Press, the publishing ministry of National Ministries, American Baptist Churches USA, is discounting two of its resources in response to the Katrina disaster. Publisher Laura Alden announced that both Surviving Grief: 30 Questions and Answers for a Time of Loss and A Pastor in Every Pew: Equipping Laity for Pastoral Care would be discounted by 50 percent for the foreseeable future.

Alden explains, "Surviving Grief offers some measure of care and comfort to both the hurricane's victims and Christians nationwide who are seeking solace and asking questions during this difficult time." A Pastor in Every Pew is designed to help readers render Christian care in a variety of situations, focusing on trust, effective listening and more. "As people look for ways to reach out and help their Christian brothers and sisters, this book provides the guidance they need." Both books also will be helpful tools for pastors and church leaders.

Surviving Grief by A. M. Brady Reinsmith is available at the discounted price of $3, and A Pastor in Every Pew by Leroy Howe can be purchased for $7.50. Both books are available on the Judson Press website at www.judsonpress.com or can be ordered by calling 1-800-4-JUDSON.
