Description
If you're looking for a planning resource to help you deal with funerals and weddings, this book is worth its weight in gold. Pastors are repeatedly called on to perform these ceremonies in an infinite variety of circumstances, yet there's no "one-size-fits-all" service, so it's a constant challenge to come up with meaningful and appropriate material that witnesses to the Lord's power. In this book an experienced minister shares a wealth of ideas that help you tailor services to individual needs, making these complicated occasions ones of impact and success for your ministry.

The Funeral And Wedding Handbook shows you how to ...
* Deal with difficult funerals ... suicides, infants, non-Christians, and many more
* Effectively comfort the hurting
* Plan memorable weddings from premarital counseling to the recessional march
* Be prepared for the overlooked details and unexpected events that often arise during funeral and wedding services

Robert Blair's book stands alone as a comprehensive resource for both ministers and caregivers. Though systematic, the book is filled with examples from Blair's 40-plus years in the ministry, which makes the book dynamic, credible, and filled with wisdom. Underlying this work is Blair's humble, but all-encompassing devotion to Christ. An essential resource for all involved in funerals and weddings, this book is one of a kind.

I have found Robert Blair's The Funeral And Wedding Handbook to be very helpful. It is well-written, informative, practical, and contemporary for today's minister. It is a great resource book, both for students preparing for ministry and those who have for many years served the Lord's people during these very important stages in life. Having this book is like having a good friend who's always ready to answer the "how to" and "what to" questions that come up in these situations. I highly recommend it to all ministers.

 Star(s) Reviewed by Rev. John Battern USA, January, 10 2008
Every pastor must from time to time prepare for funerals and weddings. In today’s individualized world, people expect that their pastor will come up with a unique and special service. Where does one turn when the creative juices are running low? Bob Blair’s Funeral and Wedding Handbook holds the answer.


I recently conducted a wedding that try as I might, I couldn’t get to come together. I pulled Bob’s book off my shelf and it provided just the spark I needed. Afterwards, the father of the bride told me it was the best wedding he had ever attended. That I could go from “I’ve got nothing,” to putting together a meaningful service is a testimony to how God can use the help found in this book in the life of an ordinary preacher.
