By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
Collaboratively written by educators and seminar speakers Karen Mulder and Ginger Jurries, The Compassionate Congregation: A Handbook for People Who Care is a thoroughly “user friendly” guide for Christians seeking to become compassionately helpful to their friends and fellow church members caught up in the midst of inevitable and diverse crisis. Individual testimonies and anecdotes regarding matters of illness, parenting struggles, relationship difficulties, disabilities, and more fill out the pages of this helpful and very highly recommended instructional and inspirational guide to being truly good to those in need.
