A friend feels
rejected. A counselee is angry. A church member’s child is ill. You
want to help, but where do you begin? Author and counselor Michael R.
Emlet outlines a model of one-another ministry based on how God sees
and loves his people primarily as saints, while bringing comfort to the
sufferer, and faithfully speaking truth to the sinner.
Filled with everyday
illustrations as well as counseling examples, Emlet demonstrates what
it looks like to approach fellow believers simultaneously as saints,
sufferers, and sinners. Emlet unpacks Scripture and draws on his
many years of counseling experience to help counselors, pastors, and
friends love others wisely and well.
As part of CCEF’s
Helping the Helper series, this guide for ministry provides an overall
framework for wisely helping any person by loving others in the same
way that God loves us.

“In this
Scripture-saturated book, Michael Emlet uses real-life counseling
interactions and insights gained from years of counseling and training
counselors to demonstrate how we can love, listen to, grieve with,
challenge, and accept the people around us in ways that befit the
gospel of the grace of Jesus.”
