9Encouragement is vital to the spiritual health of all Christians. It's a blessing to both the encouraged and the encourager. As God's children, it's our responsibility to provide comfort to others. But when the need for comfort arises due to tragedy or hardship, we often fail to encourage our friends and family because we feel too awkward or nervous. In this practical twelve-week study on the power of biblical encouragement, Sharon Betters shows how to harness encouragement to help those in need, even when it's difficult. We discover that a strong foundation in Christ enables us to step into the suffering of others and show them the comfort of the Holy Spirit. Through inspiring stories, key principles, and ideas for putting biblical encouragement into action, readers will learn that by sharing in each other's suffering, we can bring joy and contentment to our community and to ourselves.
