How to Help Someone With a Health Problem, Subject of New UCG Bible Study Guide

PRLog (Press Release) - Jun. 30, 2010 - Cincinnati, Ohio – People often worry they will say the wrong thing when trying to comfort a sick person. The Bible does highlight the problem of “miserable comforters” in the story of Job, but it also gives many tips and principles that can assist all of us in helping and encouraging those who face heath problems.

“How to Help and Encourage Someone With a Health Problem” (http://www.freebiblestudyguides.org/bible-answers/how-to-... ) shows readers how to follow Jesus Christ’s example and His teachings about how to love, reassure and serve those who are suffering.

Don Hooser, an ordained minister of the United Church of God, carefully and compassionately researched the biblical and practical aspects of helping and encouraging those suffering health problems.

The lesson uses modern and biblical stories and scriptures to provide relevant and helpful answers. The lesson also includes a practical “Apply Now” section and links to five helpful related resources.

Mike Bennett, UCG editorial content manager, said, “We want these lessons to be relevant, engaging and life-changing, and we welcome suggestions for future lessons or for improving the lessons.”

The site is frequently updated with new material, and so students are encouraged to sign up for the Bible Study Guides e-mail newsletter. E-mail subscribers will receive updates about all the new lessons, as well as other relevant Bible study material. It’s all totally free, and subscribers can cancel anytime they like.
