God loves justice and He is clear in Scripture about wanting His people to care for the poor. While the church once played an integral role in meeting the needs of society, we have taken a back seat to such issues like poverty and caring for the marginalized. It has been said that if everyone in the church gave, there would be no world hunger. What if we actually put that to the test? What if the church cared deeply for their community and was courageously generous to those living in poverty in order to build the Kingdom of God here on Earth? Moved by Compassion helps pastors and church leaders understand: -God's perspective about issues related to poverty-God's design and purpose for our resources-The responsibility of the church to care for the poor and marginalized-How to shift the culture as it relates to church finance and generosity-Practical ways to start reaching those in needJesus told us that whatever we do to the "least of these," we are actually doing for Him. Moved by Compassion teaches you how to mobilize your church by reconnecting with Jesus' heart for the poor in your community so that in doing so, your city can be transformed.

It’s time to refresh and rediscover what it means to be “like Jesus” and find true authenticity, a healthy self-image, and compassion for others in an age when we relate to each other so differently than ever before. Groeschel taps into some of the most leading-edge studies on the effects of social media on our emotions and friendships. He offers real-life examples of how we struggle with screens and likes, how these things mask our struggles with who we really are, and how we can reclaim a Christ-centered life. Packed with helpful topics like the “10 Commandments of Using Social Media to Strengthen Your Faith” and “Creating Safeguards for Your Digital Devices,” readers from ages sixteen to sixty will find Liking Jesus to be just the guide to bring balance and real-world engagement to everyday life.

In this provocative essay on that least understood virtue, compassion, the authors challenge themselves and us with these questions: Where do we place compassion in our lives? Is it enough to live a life in which we hurt one another as little as possible? Is our guiding ideal a life of maximum pleasure and minimum pain? Compassion answers no. After years of study and discussion among themselves, with other religious, and with men and women at the very center of national politics, the authors look at compassion with a vigorous new perspective. They place compassion at the heart of a Christian life in a world governed far too long by principles of power and destructive control. Compassion, no longer merely an eraser of human mistakes, is a force of prayer and action -- the expression of God's love for us and our love for God and one another. Compassion is a book that says no to a compassion of guilt and failure and yes to a compassionate love that pervades our spirit and moves us to action. Henri Nouwen, Donald McNeill, and Douglas Morrison have written a moving document on what it means to be a Christian in a difficult time.
