Review Quotes

"I can think of very few topics more relevant for our time than compassion. Thinking more about others and less about ourselves would change our relationships for the better and have such a positive impact on the world. But this is not an easy task. It calls for a process of transformation. This book will help facilitate that change. You will emerge a different person after reading and working through these 50 devotions." --Clinton E. Arnold, Dean and Professor of New Testament, Talbot School of Theology at Biola University

"This devotional is what the world needs now. Thoughtfully written, this book weaves personal stories to help illustrate specific biblical verses, helping the reader engage and relate. Dale and Tamara provide wonderful practical steps to take with each devotion. I hope this book gets into the hands of every Christian. It's going on my nightstand next to Charles Spurgeon's Morning and Evening!" --Becket Cook, Author of A Change of Affection: A Gay Man's Incredible Story of Redemption

"While this book could have been another generic musing on a vague Christian discipline, Practicing Christian Compassion is an extremely practical how-to manual on dealing with the everyday stresses of life. This book has not only made me wiser to my own circumstances but has also helped me identify with others' problems in a way I might not have otherwise." --Mark Lee, Lead Pastor, VantagePoint Church
