Book Review: Side by Side (Walking with Others in Wisdom and Love) By Edward T. Welch

Product Details

Side by Side (Walking with Others in Wisdom and Love) By Edward T. Welch (Crossway, 2015).

I would like to recommend this book to those looking for ways to get more involved in the person to person ministry of your local church.  He makes some good points that are worthy of noting and being challenged in our ministry to one another in a local church setting.  I included some quotations I thought were personally pertinent and applicable in the my daily life.  Hopefully they will be a blessing to you.  I also enjoyed to discussion and responses which followed each chapter.

Part One: We are Needy

Ch. 1 Life is Hard
"There is never a day when we have immunity from difficult circumstances."

Ch. 2 Our hearts are busy
"Our emotions point out those things that are most important to us."

Ch. 3 Hard circumstances meet busy hearts
Ch. 4 Sins weighs a lot
Ch. 5 Say "Help" to the Lord
Ch. 6 Say "Help" to other people

Part Two: We are Needed

Ch. 7 Remember: We have the Spirit
Ch. 8 Move toward and Greet one another
Ch. 9 Have thoughtful conversations
Ch. 10 See the Good, enjoy one another
Ch. 11 Walk together, tell stories
Ch. 12 Have compassion during Trouble
Ch. 13 Pray during Trouble
Ch. 14 Be alert to Satan's devices
Ch. 15 Prepare to talk about sin
Ch. 16 Help fellow sinners
Ch. 17 Keep the Story in view
