Encourage Me

by Charles R. Swindoll

Are you discouraged? Do your shoulders ache with the weight of carrying your problems alone? Do you wish you could find someone who understands, someone who won't condemn you for your failures or ridicule you for your mistakes? Let Chuck Swindoll put a friendly arm around your shoulders and show you how the burdens can be lifted from your heart. Encourage Me offers tender insight into the needs of the human heart and how God wants to meet those needs through the gift of encouragement. Swindoll says, "Encouragement is awesome. Think about It has the capacity to lift a man's or a woman's shoulders. To breathe fresh air into the fading embers of a smoldering dream. To actually change the course of another human being's day . . . or week . . . or life." This classic devotional is a treasury of thoughts on finding the encouragement you need--and learning to share that encouragement with others.

What a great little book. From the very 1st poem of Joseph Bailey to the last chapter of failures among the people... it tugged and pulled my heart strings. I got to see a hidden side of me within the pages. One I rarely let out to play... and now I see things a little bit differently and understand the hurting a bit more too. I now know the importance of being an encourager regardless of where someone is on their walk in life. A great quick read. One that I will read and meditate on again.

The first time that I read this I think I was in college. I use to keep extra copies to hand out to people.
