"If you're a clergy person, lay pastor, group leader, educator, parent, summer camp director, retreat leader, counselor, nonprofit director, or in any other position to influence others, I encourage you (even plead with you): read this book for your own benefit, and then use what you learn to teach others. Especially when too many Christians are far more interested in gaining political power than in practicing compassion, our world needs a growing movement of true Jesus-followers who are learning how to live Compassion in Practice. I am so grateful that Frank Roger's wisdom is available to us all in this insightful, practical, heart-felt book." —Brian D. McLaren, author of Faith After Doubt and The Last Voyage


“Frank Rogers invites the reader to do something radical: have compassion for self and others as modeled in the life of Jesus. Through radical, extravagant love, a space opens in the reader's heart to see friend and foe alike as part of beloved community. Rogers offers compassion practices, from breath work and visualization to text study, helping us all see God’s love made real. " —Patrick B. Reyes, Executive Vice President and Dean, Auburn Theological Seminary


“In a world where much harm, exclusion, and oppression are enacted in the name of Christ—this book provides a radical alternative in the way of abundant compassion. I am grateful to have enjoyed the long-lasting fruits of this practice personally and I am confident that spiritual leaders and seekers from all walks of life will benefit from the wisdom shared in these pages! " —Aizaiah Yong, Executive Director, Collegeville Institute for Ecumenical and Cultural Research


“Love pours through these pages like a soothing stream. Frank Rogers combines Christian wisdom, compassion science, and many practical tools and examples to help us with our hopes and sorrows. He is a remarkable writer, both tender and brilliant, lifting up the heart while finding stable footing in a shaky world. The teachings here are universal, and valuable for everyone, from any religious background or none at all. What a gem.” —Rick Hanson, Ph.D., New York Times bestselling author of Buddha’s Brain, Hardwiring Happiness, Resilient, and Making Great Relationships
