Called Alongside - Practical Faith for people who carry others

By Dr. John Sweet

Practical faith for people who carry others Some people spend their lives helping others carry what is too heavy to carry alone. Parents. Pastors. Caregivers. Counselors. Leaders. Friends who simply show up. The Called Alongside series is written for them. The New Testament has a word for this kind of person: parakaleo, "called alongside to help." It describes someone who walks beside the wounded, speaks courage to the weary, and sees what might be when others can see only what is. For many years, Dr. John Sweet has trained ministers, chaplains and caregivers to see through the eyes of parakaleo. Each book in this series takes that calling into a different part of life. Whether you are climbing toward a dream, leading people through hard decisions, or helping someone find their way beyond the walls, you were never meant to make the journey alone. Neither were the people you carry.
