About this Book: |
|
"Call me if you need anything!" We've all said it with well meaning intentions, but how frequently do we follow through and see if a hurting friend really DOES need anyting? If you live with illness, you may hear people volunteer to help you out, but sometimes even the simplest of offers seem uncomfortable accepting.
This book is a wonderful way to give people ideas to be creative, approachable, and a great friend. It also teaches a person how to allow an ill friend to be independent and respected, yet still give her/him hope that may be needed.
It's a book anyone will find helpful, but is an essential tool for churches, counselors and and others in the helping professions who need some quick, concrete, practical ideas to use immediately.

Book Review: |
|
Beyond Casseroles is inspirational, practical, and meaningful. Lisa’s “505 ways” will bless any friendship, but for a chronically ill friend, it is also very much needed. It will make you laugh. It will make you pause. It will make you wiser. There is something here for everyone associated with a chronic illness. If you walk away with only one way to encourage your friend (though, you’ll take away so many more!), that in itself may change her life (and yours).
