Walking with Others in Wisdom and Love

By: Edward T. Welch

Narrated by: Marcus Jackman

Practical Guidance for Loving Others Well

Everyone needs help from time to time, especially in the midst of painful circumstances and difficult trials. In this short book, a highly respected biblical counselor and successful author offers practical guidance for all Christians—pastors and laypeople alike—who want to develop their "helping skills" when it comes to walking alongside hurting people.

Written out of the conviction that friends are the best helpers, this accessible introduction to biblical counseling will equip believers to share their burdens with one another through gentle words of wisdom and kind acts of love. This book is written for those eager to see God use ordinary relationships and conversations between ordinary Christians to work extraordinary miracles in the lives of his people.

Chapters are not in sync with how they’re labeled.

Good book, good reading, but the chapters are not in sync with the numbered titles on the audiobook. It is very frustrating to try to find your place. They’re off by 4 chapters. I do not understand this oversight. It seems like a very easy fix. Hopefully, they’ll fix it soon.
