A great book for churches and anyone involved in ministry and leadership. Challenging and thought provoking....this book would make a great manual for a care or compassion ministry in any church. The author shares her experiences and offers easy to read explanations on caring in the church. Biblically grounded and funny too! Questions at the end of each chapter make this a great small group study guide also. A must read!!

This book was wonderful....very insightful and thought provoking. With Beth's background of both theology and psychology, the book provides a new perspective on one of the most important responsibilities of the church. Beth actually puts into words what a great majority of people think but do not have the courage to express. Her sense of humor is sprinkled throughout bringing smiles to the reader in just the right spots. A definite A+!
