Building on the Practice Wisdom of Alan Keith-Lucas

Many of the ideas and principles from the original text, So You Want to Be a Social Worker by Alan Keith-Lucas, have stood the test of time and enriched the social work practice and faith of students and practitioners. The authors, who revised the text, share their own grappling with what concepts and skills are particularly important to a social worker who is a Christian and encounters pain and suffering as well as hope and resilience in their practice. The concept of practice wisdom, from a Christian perspective is incorporated throughout.
