Gently shaped to a woman's back, the traditional Native American burden basket was intended to carry only the essentials. If a heavy load proved wearying, a friend could share the weight. In just the same way, we are called to bear each other's burdens. The Burden Basket helps us care for others-even when we don't know what to say. Over 120 short, real-life essays-all in a Western theme-share God's loving care with those who are facing difficult times. This gorgeously illustrated book is the perfect encouraging gift for hurting people.
