“Through the years, I’ve observed and participated in Dr. Massey’s professional impact with pastors, students, & for other teachers. Like her book title C.A.R.I.N.G., I’ve noticed she’s a caring professional as well as an impressive scholar in the field of pastoral care and counseling.

Her work is important for all those who care about understanding the other in a deeper, more spiritual way, then merely surface impressions.”

Dr. Greg DeLoach, Interim Dean, Mercer

“The CARING Process is applicable to all aspects of ministry, whether it’s a 1-on-1 session, or a conversation in the hospital, or talking in a group setting.

It’s an excellent resource for anyone looking to go into the ministry & have more effective conversations.”

Martha Kate Hall
