This book is about helping hurting people. Hurting people sur-round and fill our churches, crying for a saving and deeper knowledge of Jesus Christ. To help hurting people, we must follow Jesus' example. We must begin our ministry at the very seat of their emotions. This book equips Christians to do just that! The book presents common emotional crises of hurting people, situations provoking these crises, biblical principles, guidelines and practical exercises for leading hurt-ing people to Christ with an emphasis on the Black Church experience. The thirteen chapters are written by experienced pastors, Christian psychologists, Christian social workers and Christian counselors.
