"Those looking for brief yet thoughtful and helpful responses to our common human question, 'Why me?' will find them here. For the Faint of Heart is a series of readable biblical reflections on the questions and problems we face when life confronts us with sin, pain, and death. Among the handful of good books on suffering, I will offer this little volume first for those seeking to understand their struggles."
— Dr. Russell Moulds, Ph.D., Concordia University, Seward, NE
"Craig Parrott says what all of us—people currently suffering and those who one day will—need to hear (though may not want to). And in so doing, he offers hope. His understanding of Scripture pulls back the curtain, allowing us to find purpose and meaning in suffering."
— Pastor David Koch, retired, Denver, CO
"In this era of empty five-step quick fixes, Craig offers genuine insight culled from Holy Scripture, from great writings past and present, and from his own experiences. He comforts as he has been comforted, as he speaks to many of the harder questions that thinking and feeling Christians contemplate. I highly recommend For the Faint of Heart for it ministered to me in its elegance, wisdom, and tenderness."
— Dr. Andrew Spitznas, M.D., Staff Psychiatrist, Mountain Home VA Medical Center, and Associate Professor of Psychiatry, East Tennessee State University
"For the Faint of Heart provides a wonderfully fresh perspective to an old topic: how to deal with the struggles and setbacks of life. Craig's Christ-centered approach is right on. His book is a gift to the Body of Christ. It should be read by any Christian who needs encouragement or who wants to encourage others."
— Pastor David Ahlman, Peace Lutheran Church, Arvada, CO
"If you ever at painful times have questioned your faith or your Lord, this book is for you. The real source of hope is the Word, and this work provides it. I could not put it down."
— Mr. Ron Brandhorst, teacher, Denver Lutheran High School
"Craig Parrott offers a catalogue of comfort for hurting Christians as he draws on the wisdom of Scripture, Luther, and a variety of respected counselors. His transparency in sharing his own struggles enables him to speak with a certainty that comes only with life experience as well as study. He brings the reader to have hope in the promises of God in Jesus Christ for time and eternity. I would recommend the book for all that are in need of that hope."
— Pastor Dwight Hellmers, St. Luke's Lutheran, Golden, CO
"I have been rereading it section by section gaining more insight of God's will and eternal love."
"Our board of elders is currently using it. We read one chapter each month and discuss how we might apply this to caring for those in our congregation. As a pastor, I have also found it to be helpful to give to those who have lost loved ones or have faced other difficulties in life."
"Images of the love and compassion of our Lord came through your words. He reminded me of His truth through your written words."
"Every chapter starts with a question I've been dealing with but hate to admit. It's so comforting to know I'm not alone in these thoughts. And the answers are in my language and are giving me a lot of comfort."
"Your counsel is so sound and your words so natural that I felt like I was just sitting there, chatting with you."
"Our group is buzzing about how comforting, thought provoking, helpful, true-to-life, Scripture-based, and practical it has been for them. I believe all are sharing it with someone else who needs to read it."
