Using the example of Barnabas, one of the early Christians who was a source of encouragement to others, Vicky Litmer looks at the local church to see modern examples of those who have been an encouragement to her -- parents of small children, widows and widowers, those who attend worship alone because their spouses are unbelievers, divorcees, song leaders, prayer leaders, generous givers, teenage Christians, etc. to express how much an encouragement each of these has been to her. This book is ideal for gift-giving -- to encourage those who are being an example to you
