Christian Caregiving-a Way of Life by Kenneth Haugk. It's the textbook that Stephen Ministers read in their initial training, so it's written to equip lay people for caregiving whatever track a congregation is on. It clearly and concisely lays out the fundamentals of good pastoral--really, Christian--care.

A little more advanced and a definite must for every pastor and or congregation caregiver is When and How to Use Mental Health Resources, also available from Stephen Ministries. This helps you identify the limits of pastoral care, when you need to refer, and how to do so most effectively. (Of course, the "pastoral" or Christian caregiving function continues, but in conjunction with a mental health provider rather than apart from it, as it does in most instances.)
