Publisher's summary

Everyone has friends or family who suffer from sickness, disability, depression, or the death of a loved one.

Often times, the people who love the hurting also struggle in their own unique ways. They tend to suffer in silence and without much support from others. Writing from the unique perspective of one who needs extra help on a daily basis, Dave Furman offers insight into the support, encouragement, and wisdom that people need when helping others. Furman draws on his own life experiences, examples from the Bible, and wisdom from Christians throughout history to address the heart and ministry of those who are called to serve others. Deeply personal and powerfully pastoral, this book points listeners to the strength that only God can provide as they love those who are hurting.

Afterword written by Gloria Furman, the author's wife.

Practical information I can put to good use

This book was full of practical information along the lines of Nancy Guthrie’s book on grief. I listened to the Christian audio recording but will buy the book and would recommend reading the book rather than listening as the recording was off-puttingly sappy. But the information is excellent.
