A Mile in My Shoes: Cultivating Compassion We’re quick to pray for victims of tsunamis, casualties of war, and starving children, but has prayer become a way to avoid taking real action? Are we only attentive to suffering “over there” while detached from the desperate needs of many among whom we live and work? Our times cry out for a mass movement of compassion. This urgent need coincides with the goal of the Christ-following life, for unless our faith makes us compassionate, it can hardly be called Christian. Following Jesus means moving out of our privatized, isolated, and self-enclosed worlds into a compassionate engagement with our suffering neighbor. As we open ourselves to the pilgrimage experience, … we journey from self-centeredness to compassion. May you and I become everyday pilgrims whom God can use to bring healing to our broken world. -Trevor Hudson A Mile in My Shoes: Cultivating Compassion Review - Chapter 1 missionalchurchnetwork/a-mile-in-my-shoes-chapter-1/ Trevor Hudson, A Mile in My Shoes: Cultivating Compassion books.upperroom.org/book-author/trevor-hudson/
