No hands but ours - Jennifer Rees-Larcombe

"The words of St Teresa,' Our Lord has no hands but our hands' haunted me and gently but firmly God began to turn me inside out ." As a young mother, Jennifer Rees Larcombe was challenged by the pastoral needs she saw in her local community.When Jennifer prayed that God would fill her with His Spirit, she realised that God expects us as Christians to impact other's lives with acts of kindness and love. Then her own life was turned inside out when a life-threatening disease left her chronically il and disabled for eight years. The experience of being physically and emotionally vulnerable, as she herself was on the receiving end of pastoral care, opened her eyes afresh to the importance of expressing love in action.This warm, practical book will encourage and guide all those involved in pastoral care. Jennifer gently challenges us all to really put our faith into practice.
