Your mother probably said it maybe your grandmother, too. They parroted the overused maternal maxim: Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.

They meant well, but let's just say that they were not being completely truthful. They wanted us to be strong in the face of criticism, verbal abuse, and the bullying behavior of others. It was like, Hey, if there's no blood it's no big deal.

But we all know better.

When was the last time a stick or stone was hurled at you?

Now, when was the last time what someone said hurt you?

There is a certain feeling of unfairness when people who are trying to do good even trying to serve the Lord get hurt along the way.

We get depressed. We think about getting even. We think about quitting.

In fact, one of the most common reasons people stop trying to make a difference has to do with getting hurt and not getting through or over it.

Good Samaritans get mugged.

All the time.

Reviews for When Good Samaritans Get Mugged: Hope and Healing for Wounded Warriors

I love to read a fresh and convicting view of a familiar story. David's book will enlighten, encourage, and challenge your commitment to be a Good Samaritan--no matter what. -- Dr. Johnny Hunt, Senior Pastor of First Baptist Church, Woodstock, Georgia and former President of the Southern Baptist Convention Several years ago I had the honor of having Brother Andrew as a guest on my radio program. While sharing a few of stories of his years of carrying the Word of God into some of the world's most dangerous places he said: 'There is no place you cannot go for God, as long as you don't have to come back.' In reading this latest work by my friend David Stokes, I am reminded that serving the needs of others in Christ's name will often cut across the grain of our own comfort and even, at times, involve great risk. This book can help us remember that as the Father sent His Son into the world, He is now sending us, and that '...even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many. (Mark 10:45-NLT)' -- Don Kroah, host of The Don Kroah Show in Washington, DC--WAVA/Salem Media.
