This multi-authored book, with editors and authors who are leaders in Faith Community Nursing (FCN), aims to address contemporary issues in faith-based, whole person, community based health, offering cost effective, accessible, patient centered care along the patient continuum while challenging contemporary health policy to include more health promotion services. Chapters take the reader from a foundational understanding of this historic grass-roots movement to the present-day international specialty nursing practice. The book is structured into five sections that describe both the historical advancement of the Faith Community Nursing, its current implications and future challenges, taking into account the perspectives of the pastor, congregation, nurse, health care system and public health national and international organizations. This book is intended for a mixed audience including lay, academic, medical professionals or health care executives. By changing the mindset of the reader to see the nurse as more than providing illness care, the faith community as more than a place one goes to on Sunday and health as more than physical, creative alternatives for promoting health emerge through this title.
