Book Overview
"Just be positive " "God only gives you what you can handle." "Others have it harder."
We all want to comfort and care for those in our lives who are struggling. Yet, when we use secular phrases to offer this comfort, they can unintentionally make someone feel worse instead. Thankfully, we have God's Word to offer us true comfort, and His Word is filled with phrases that soothe our souls.
Author Faith Doerr shares her first-hand experience of hearing phrases meant to comfort her that, instead, made her situation much worse. She knows first-hand how "just be positive " or "God only gives you what you can handle" can sound like more like nails on a chalkboard than a comforting hug. From her times of grief or sadness, she learned how the Bible is our true source of comfort and shares these wonderful insights with you.
In God's Encouraging Word, see how you can take eight secular self-help phrases and change them into true phrases of comfort with God's Word. Each chapter includes a Journal Prompt, Scripture verses, a prayer, "Gentle Reminders," and responses for when you hear these eight phrases. Learn how to offer real comfort and hope to those in your life with the beautiful Word of God.
