Using the original words of Smith Wigglesworth, edited in simple, easy-to-grasp nuggets, each devotion will inspire, motivate, and shed insight on God and His faithfulness.

This book outlines a non-professional approach for assisting friends with their problems, known as the friend-to-friend process. The first chapter features a transcript of a high school senior navigating an issue, introducing three questions that target thoughts, feelings, and actions. Guidelines for using these questions, along with examples of typical responses and follow-up questions, are provided. The second chapter details the setting, skills, and procedures necessary for implementing the friend-to-friend process, emphasizing good listening skills and body language, including common forms and their meanings. It also discusses chair arrangements and identifies signs that indicate when professional counseling may be necessary. The third chapter presents case studies illustrating the friend-to-friend process, featuring scenarios such as a frustrated youth worker, a teenager facing homelessness, a woman coping with her mother's illness, and a teen struggling with alcohol. The fourth chapter includes a dialogue between two friends and exercises related to the process. The fifth chapter offers a worksheet for individuals needing to address their own problems independently. Finally, the sixth chapter provides further insights and information about the friend-to-friend process.
