Publisher's summary

Have you ever had a time when you felt burdened, overwhelmed, or discouraged and someone noticed your pain, really listened to what you were feeling, and stood ready to help you? That is compassion. It is rare and it is powerful! It changes lives!

Maybe you remember how uplifting it felt when someone showed you genuine compassion in a time of trouble. Would you like to know how to bring that kind of compassion to your relationships? Would you like to know how to respond to the pain and struggle of people you care about? Would you like to know how to show compassion in your marriage? Would you like to know how to cultivate compassion in your children and how to show compassion to yourself?

The ultimate teacher of compassion was Jesus, who both taught and lived it perfectly. So many of His actions and stories show us just how compassion works. By combining His teachings with great scholarly discoveries on compassion, we find simple and effective ways to live compassionately. The Compassionate Heart: Uplifting Your Life and Relationships will teach you what compassion looks like and how you can offer the healing gift of compassion to your friends, your partner, your children, and yourself.

insightful exploration of compassion that is deeply needed in our highly contentious world

Dr Wally Goddard invites the reader to consider the essential place that compassion can have in the life of a follower of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. His persuasive and heartfelt description of the role that compassion can, and should, play in a life of a believer is beautifully presented, exemplifying the very compassion for which he is advocating, avoiding either a judgmental, or permissive approach to this topic which is so central to Christianity. On a more personal note I am a witness to the reality that Dr Wally strives diligently to exemplify the principles that he so eloquently teaches. I am deeply thankful for his loving example as both a friend and a brother. Also worthy of note is Dr Wally's ability to be concise and succinct in exploring this immense topic. Thank you for this inspiring book!
