About The Book

In this comforting addition to the Hugs series, each page is filled with inspiring anecdotes, quotes, and scriptures that will comfort the hearts of the hurting through the expression of empathy and understanding and the passing of strength from one to another.

There is always someone that needs a hug in your life…it may even be you!

Hugs communicate so much, and they are especially important for those who are hurting. They express comfort, empathy, understanding, and a passing of strength from one to another. Every hurting person can benefit from the comfort and warmth that flows through a hug.

The pages of this special book are filled with all kinds of hugs that are written to comfort the heart of the hurting. Whether it’s a warm, encouraging story by John William Smith, a powerful, personalized scripture by LeAnn Weiss, or one of the many inspirational quotes and messages from an “anonymous disciple,” you’ll find that the hugs between these pages will reach deeply into the heart and share just what is needed.
