Helping People Through Grief
by Delores KuenningCongregations are becoming increasingly aware how important a role their members can play in assisting one another in times of grief and despair. Delores Kuenning's book is a remarkable "textbook" to recommend for teaching caring people how to help helpfully. It is the most comprehensive treatment of "How to Care" I have ever come across. It is an encyclopedia of information on every conceivable form of grief. But more than that, it describes simply and directly how to respond to these griefs. All of the suggestions are based upon the accumulated wisdom of the Scriptures, church tradition and the experiences of present-day Christians. The author's sensitivity to the power of emotions is enhanced by her knowledge in the fields of both theology and the social sciences, which are evident on every page. She is a lay person's theologian. -- Granger E. Westberg, Author of Good Grief.
