Helping the Suffering
Autobiographical Reflections on Supporting Those in Pain
James Muldoon and Jennie Muldoon
By couple who have suffered
Practical ideas for helping others
Based on how people helped them
Seeing someone you love hurting, and feeling like you can do nothing to help, is hard. We are so nervous about making their suffering worse that we are paralysed into doing nothing. James and Jennie Muldoon are familiar with suffering. They tell their story here, explain how they were supported and comforted by their brothers and sisters in Christ, and give ideas for where to start when we are helping those in pain.
James Muldoon
James Muldoon lives in Reading with his wife, Jennie, and their three children. He studied Classics and then Theology and now serves as co–pastor of Carey Baptist Church.
Jennie Muldoon
Jennie studied Theology and trained as an Occupational Therapist. She and her husband, James, have three children, all of whom will probably be on the stage one day.

Christian Focus
James and Jennie’s honest, and at times raw, account of their experiences will be a great help, both to those who are facing suffering, and to friends and family who seek to support them. It is full of Godly wisdom and Christ–centred hope.

I am glad I have read this book and have no qualms in highly recommending it. The book ends with a ringing affirmation that Jesus remembers and understands. Jesus remembers the cross and what the worst of life’s troubles feels like. ‘That is compassion written in the largest letters upon the canvas of the universe.’

Award–winning author
In an easy style, and with honesty and tears, James and Jennie tell us their story of suffering. We learn that the Lord leads us through situations which are too much for us to bear, but are not too much for Him to carry us through. With an open Bible, and with a wisdom born of their own experience, they then move on to give us a host of practical suggestions about helping the suffering. It is all challenging and wonderful.

… an encouraging story of authentic faith in times of trial, and a God whose ways may sometimes seem strange, but whose love really does endure forever. I’m confident this book will help God’s people ‘weep with those who weep’ and shine forth the comfort and mercy of Christ Jesus.
