Advance Praise
“Most Christians know we should care for one another. But few of us know how. Seasoned biblical counselor and author Ed Welch not only gifts us with the how, but, like a great chef, serves it up in eight concise, biblically true, and richly wise courses. Each brief chapter can be read aloud to a group and is accompanied by heart-piercing, eye-opening discussion questions. This is a book that can shape the culture of our churches to be safe places of wise mutual care. I heartily recommend!”
—Alfred J. Poirier, Visiting Professor in Practical Theology, Westminster Theological Seminary, Glenside, Pennsylvania; author, The Peacemaking Pastor
“Nearly every Christian has experienced awkwardness in the local church. At one time or another, we have felt ignored, misunderstood, or out of place. The church may be the body of Christ, but we don't always function as well as we should. In Caring for One Another, Ed Welch gives us thoroughly biblical and entirely practical direction to facilitate more meaningful interactions in our churches. In the space of eight short lessons, we learn our need to move toward people and find ourselves equipped to reach out to them in loving and genuinely helpful ways. Whether you read this book alone or study it in a group, you will close the last page with renewed energy for building relationships in your church.”
—Megan Hill, author, Praying Together; Editor, The Gospel Coalition; Editorial Board Member, Christianity Today
“One of God’s chosen ways to help people is through the care and concern of fellow Christians. In our busy world with its superficial relationships, many have abandoned this calling and left it to professionals to do the work ordinary Christians could be doing to help others. Through easy-to-follow practical guidelines, Ed Welch shows how we can remedy this and make our churches into caring communities. This kind of caring can be a means God uses not only to bless Christians but also to commend the Christian way to those outside the church.”
—Ajith Fernando, Teaching Director, Youth for Christ, Sri Lanka; author, The Call to Joy and Pain
“This is a short book, but one that packs a powerful punch. Ed Welch has given us a user-friendly guide for our churches to grow together as we seek to better care for one another. I love that the lessons are meant to be read aloud and discussed among church members. I’m already envisioning various groups of people I can read this book with in our congregation. Buy this book. Better yet, buy a case of books and pass it out in your church. And even better than that, get groups of people within your church reading it together. The impact of this book could have far-reaching effects in our churches as we seek to love one another in a way that shines the spotlight on Christ.”
—Dave Furman, Senior Pastor, Redeemer Church of Dubai; author, Kiss the Wave and Being There
“Caring for One Another is a concise guide for helping others. It contains gems of biblical wisdom and sound principles, encouraging readers to move toward others with all humility, to be personal and pray, and to sensitively talk about suffering and sin. I highly recommend this very helpful book to all Christians.”
—Siang-Yang Tan, Professor of Psychology, Fuller Theological Seminary; Senior Pastor, First Evangelical Church Glendale, California; author, Counseling and Psychotherapy: A Christian Perspective
“Short, biblical, practical, wise—if you need help building meaningful relationships, Ed Welch will be your perfect guide. Caring for One Another will be a must-read for everyone I train.”
—Deepak Reju, Pastor of Biblical Counseling and Family Ministry, Capitol Hill Baptist Church, Washington, DC; author, The Pastor and Counseling and She’s Got the Wrong Guy
“I need this book. My church needs this book. My local community needs my church to read this book. Ed Welch envisions a new kind of caring community that walks in dependence on the grace of God. With Christ-centered love and wisdom, he shows us what it looks like and how we can get there. I want this for my family, for my church, and for the glory of God. When it comes to caring for others, this is the first book I will reach for to stir my soul, shape my prayers, and train my church.”
—Ste Casey, Course Tutor and Speaker, Biblical Counselling UK; Pastor, Speke Baptist Church, Liverpool, UK
