In nine short chapters, Mike Mellor aims to help the reader to see why the often neglected ministry of visiting the sick is of vital importance for the whole church.
He looks at who can, and indeed should, be involved and why. Then, drawing on his 30 years of pastoral ministry and using lots of practical examples, he fleshes out what that might look like in a number of different situations. Throughout the book Mike emphasises what a privilege and blessing it is to be involved in visiting the sick and sharing in their weakness, as we seek to bring them the comfort that only the gospel can bring.
