Abstract
As the authors of this text, we are well aware that what we are attempting
in this book is a lofty and complex task. We want to help people learn how
to be better people helpers. The book is a culmination of our combined
decades of working with counselees and students. We hope that you are
driven by the same desire that compels us to write the book: a deep spiritual
concern to respond to a hurting world in ways that reflect the love of God,
the sacrifice of Jesus and the compassion of the Spirit. Learning new skills
is not easy; we hope that our efforts to explain and to nurture these skills
bear fruit in your own life and relationships, and in your chosen ministry
context.
