"I am glad that this wise book has been translated and is now available for an English-speaking audience. It offers a series of accessible lessons about using encouragement in daily life. I hope you let these delightfully wise and simple teachings change your life and the lives of those you touch." – Jon Carlson, PsyD, EdD, Distinguished Professor, Governors State University"This book might well be characterized as ‘conversations with a friend.’ Rather than a work about encouragement, the author guides the reader through a process of encouragement. Theo Schoenaker captures the reader’s attention by speaking to the heart from which all ‘feelings of community’ originate." – Thomas J. Sweeney, PhD, LPCC, Professor Emeritus, Ohio University; Executive Director, Chi Sigma Iota
