What is 'encouragement' exactly?
- Helping a sad person feel happier?
- Helping a happy person stay that way?
- Or is it just one of those bland, over used 'Christian' words that we use without thinking to much?

According to Gordon Cheng, encouragement is not only central to our church life, it belongs to one of the most powerful themes in the whole of scripture: the power to change lives. That powerful word not only changes us as we hear and respond to it; but through us it changes others too.

This warm hearted book is sprinkled with humour, insight and practical wisdom. It explains not only what encouragement is and how it works, but how all of us can get involved.
