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.

This book challenges us to be ‘strong and courageous’ when supporting the suffering. I saw immediate fruit from the Muldoon’s teaching to be more intentional, to acknowledge and so validate the struggles of others, and to unapologetically give them Christ! A must read!

… a hard story, but not a hopeless story. And out of the ashes of their sorrow emerges helpful insight and practical takeaways for those who walk alongside others in their sufferings. In ‘Helping the Suffering’, God’s faithfulness shines forth on every page.

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.’
