Peter Bukowski encourages bringing the Bible into pastoral discussion. In doing so, he concentrates on situations in which those seeking advice are not concerned with questions of faith, but with help in life. The fact that the Bible can also be introduced in a conversation-friendly and partner-centered manner in such cases is shown in concrete terms. The author also gives his readers an insight into their own pastoral care practice, which makes his methodological considerations easy to understand - and encourages them to try things out for themselves.
