"Active Compassion"
New Hope, 2011, 978-1-59669-314-2, $14.99
When we hear the story of Jesus healing the paralytic who was lowered through the roof of a house, we center on the miracle Jesus performed that day. Jesus certainly changed the life of the paralytic, but what about the four men who carried him? What if they had not had compassion on him? Gayla points us to a lifestyle of active compassion in this book.
