"Mourn with those who mourn." (Romans 12:15b)
God commanded all Christians (not just ministers, pastors, and leaders) to comfort those who mourn. However, many Christians are not reaching out to grieving people, not because they lack the compassion or concern for them, but because they lack the understanding, knowledge, and skills as to what to say and do.
In The TIME Approach to Grief Support, Edmund Ng combines personal experience, extensive professional grief counseling knowledge and skills, and the truth of God's principles and promises to show how Christians can reach out and offer support to those who are grieving. Readers will learn to use a simple and practical formula to help those who are grieving to:
O Take the time needed to mourn.
O Talk about their losses.
O Resolve issues.
O Find meaning in their suffering.
O Recover and move forward with hope and purpose.
The bereaved need comfort and support in their season of grief. Christians must not continue to miss out on these God-designed windows of opportunity to extend His kingdom and impact lives through deaths and losses.
