Comprehensive, creative, and up-to-date, Baker's Pastoral Handbooks have become indispensable resources for pastors, lay leaders, and seminary students. Each pocket-sized book has leather binding and a ribbon marker and includes planning charts to photocopy.

Baker's Funeral Handbook frees a minister to concentrate on comforting instead of funeral service planning. It includes funeral and memorial services from nine denominations, graveside services, and special situation services. Resources for planning services and messages are provided, including quotations, illustrations, and last words.
