Other chapters address themes such as race, gender, and ministry across faith traditions (or no faith tradition). The book addresses field education in a range of contextsfrom churches to non-profits.Engage offers a valuable resource for students making the most of their transition from the classroom into real world ministry with all its joys and many challenges.
