Compassionate Love: How God is Blessing a Hurting World

by Rick Allen

Overview

Let's be honest. It can feel like the world is in a downward spiral. Bad news, division, and negativity can leave you feeling hopeless. Worse still, it can make you wonder if God even notices or cares.

In Compassionate Love, Rick Allen answers the question: Does God care? with a resounding yes, and he proves it through multiple compelling stories of medical professionals serving in under-resourced locations around the world. These are stories of health, healing, and hope that will uplift, inspire, and open your eyes to God's blessing. Get ready to:

1. Be inspired-the world may be broken, but there are sparks of light everywhere.
2. Be informed-discover how medical workers can gain access to places others cannot.
3. Be awed-by stories of sacrifice, courage, generosity, and surrender.
4. Be transformed-as you feel your faith deepen and your hope lift.
5. Be challenged-as you reimagine your own mission and change the world.

This book is about stories-theirs and yours. It will challenge you to open your heart to compassion, love more deeply, let God work through you, and in your own unique way-change the world.
