This one is good, practical book about how you can support yourself and/or your fellow people in the time of crisis and about how to prepare for these inevitable times (as the crisis is the part of the life).

The crisis can and will happen - you only never know when and which kind of crisis. So it is difficult (but not totally impossible) to be prepared. And when during the crisis, where to find the strength and resources? And how to cope with the consequences of the crisis, being it medical conditions or "just" hurting heart?

The authoress tackles all these subjects and more. She is giving some quite practical tips (I must say here that they are of general nature, as the character of your crisis can be a very individual thing and it is impossible to cover all the possibilities). A lot of attention is given to the spiritual and psychological preparedness and conditions of the heart, as spiritual and emotional burdens are parts of practicall any given crisis.

The book is helpful and personal - but I would recommend to study more sources on the subjects.

The thoughts about preparedness are spot-on, I need to use them!

As a Catholic and because this book has been published by the Catholic publisher I need to say that I am sad to see than no attention is given to the very unique sources of strength - the sacraments. The Eucharist and the act of confession are tremendous gifts of special graces. Why be Christian, but not Catholic?
