Customer Reviews

Insightful and helpful

This book has helped me through some healing processes, especially the healing of relationships hurt over years. I found it extremely beneficial and helpful. It is as well written as the other book by the same authors. I would recommend it to anyone.

A book for lay people who want to minister to the hurting.

Lay people who want to minister to the hurting people they meet will need help as they come face to face with the pain of others. In this beautifully crafted book Jan Alkire and Father Leo Thomas O.P. give concrete ways for lay people to work in their parishes, as part of a parish team, to bring compassion to the hurting, to help people get to the roots of pain and help bring healing to those who are suffering.
