Academic Praise for 7 Attitudes of the Helping Heart

““This book is like a window into people’s lives around the world, with sensory details that help us empathize with circumstances that we otherwise struggle to imagine.”

— Rev. Matthew Ingalls, Author of The Upside Down Way: Following Jesus through the Gospel of Luke

“Frame’s personal story, mingled with the stories of friends in Cambodia trapped in crippling poverty, creates a compelling narrative for his solid teaching on how we all can nurture qualities in ourselves in order to better care for others in need with a truly empowered, serving, and loving mindset.”

— Jamie Aten, PhD, Founder & Executive Director, Humanitarian Disaster Institute, Wheaton College, and author of A Walking Disaster: What Surviving Katrina and Cancer Taught Me About Faith and Resilience

Does 7 Attitudes of the Helping Heart Live Up to the Expectations?

Sadly – NO. While I appreciated that Frame has included personal stories from men and women he’s met around the world, I found the book to be a bunch of fluff. Most of the stories Frame shared from his own experiences are those you could read on a blog and offered nothing new for someone who’s been on a missions trip, helped out at the local rescue mission, listened to a missionary speak, or etc.

Although for the price, this might make a good gift for new believers or for missionaries being sent off by a church.
