Everyone needs help from time to time, especially in the midst of painful circumstances and difficult trials. In this short book, a highly respected biblical counselor and successful author offers practical guidance for all Christians—pastors and laypeople alike—who want to develop their “helping skills” when it comes to walking alongside hurting people.

Friends are the best helpers, and this book is grounded in that idea.  Welch shows believers that most of us are already equipped to bear one another’s burdens through gentle words of wisdom and kind acts of love. God uses ordinary relationships and conversations between ordinary Christians in your lives, more than that of “professionals.”  Using nothing more spectacular or exceptional than each other, God works extraordinary miracles in our lives.
