This is a daily prayer companion aimed at all working in the caring professions: doctors, nurses and other health care staff; social workers, counsellors, pastors and the many thousands of carers looking after someone at home. It is profoundly understanding of the heavy emotional burden that accompanies this kind of work, its challenges and frustrations, and its great rewards.
Arranged thematically, morning and evening prayers for 31 days focus on many practical aspects including Finding Strength, Giving Comfort, Listening, Patiently Persevering, Making Hard Decisions, Coping with Difficult Patients, Caring for the Dying, Enabling Growth.
"There is something uplifting in this book for anyone who works with the sick, be they a nurse, doctor, chaplain, counsellor, or remedial therapist." Iain Frew, volunteer assistant to a hospital chaplain and a member of Wylde Green URC, Sutton Coldfield. Reform, May 2006.
