Contemplative Compassion

In Contemplative Compassion: Creating a Culture of Care in Faith Communities Sarah Butler Berlin weds practical pastoral ministry advice to contemplative, passionate prayer as a means to help the Church and individual churches become a supportive community like no other place in society. More than a book, this guide can be used by individuals and groups for gaining knowledge about how to minister to hurting people and applying what is learned. Each chapter contains a Scripture reading and explanation, a real-life story, application of the lesson, and motivational material, plus additional reflection questions and exercises and a devotional reading that can be used between group meetings or by individuals at a later time.
