Compassion: A Call to Take Action (Women on the Front Lines) (Women on the Front Lines)

In a world where fear and selfishness have become the ruling powers in men and women's hearts James and Michal Ann Goll offer a personal invitation to forsake that world and enter a world where compassion rules. Compassion will help you discover the joy of committing your life to a cause higher than your own personal life. In the world of Compassion you will learn to weep for those who are in great pain and will discover the delight of lending a hand to those in need. Helping you to discover the world of Compassion will be such great women like Florence Nightingale, Saint Teresa, Catherine Booth, Heidi Baker, and a whole company of compassionate women. This is your passport into a world where compassion rules!
