Spiritual CPR: Recognizing and Intervening When a Christian Is in Crisis By Shaun Jester

Would You Know How to Respond?

In Spiritual CPR, board-certified physician Dr. Shaun Jester draws on a lifetime of responding to physical emergencies to present a practical, biblically grounded guide for recognizing and responding to spiritual emergencies.

From pornography and infidelity to abortion, addiction, and other life-altering struggles, this book equips believers to move beyond judgment, silence, and avoidance toward restoration, healing, and hope.

Using the memorable WASH PIGS framework, readers will learn how to assess difficult situations, offer wise counsel, and extend grace without compromising truth. Each chapter explores real-world scenarios, examines both secular and biblical perspectives, and provides actionable steps for helping fellow Christians navigate moments of spiritual crisis.

Whether you are a church leader, small-group facilitator, mentor, parent, or believer seeking to strengthen your ability to care for others, Spiritual CPR offers a compassionate roadmap for restoring those who are hurting, struggling, or wandering from their faith.
