Resources for seminarians

Are there any official pastoral handbooks that are given to seminarians with Q&A type formatting to help pastors, and if so, are they available for laypeople to purchase?

While it does not feature a question-and-answer format, The Shepherd Under Christ is a book on practical theology that students at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary have been using for quite a number of years.

The book is available for purchase from Northwestern Publishing House (NPH).

This link will take you to the appropriate section of NPHā€™s website where you can obtain more information about the book.

Doctor of Souls is a recent publication that addresses more contemporary ministry subjects.
