Marcos Amado Director for Latin America - Lausanne Movement; Director of Martureo - Brazilian Center for Missiological Reflection Through a refreshing historical and theological walk, Compassion and the Mission of God will inspire reflection and prayerful action to follow the saints in doing justice, loving mercy, and walking with God. Don't pick this book up if you want to remain comfortable - its insights will pull the blinders off and challenge you to new vistas of thought and practice too often buried and forgotten in our churches today. Peter Howard Senior Director, Emergency Response, Food for the Hungry This book brings together in-depth studies on socioeconomic structures of biblical and early Christian times, contemporary theological discussion, and the author's personal passion around the issues of poverty, injustice and compassion . . . If the reader will allow the book to shape their understanding on Christian mission, the kingdom of God will grow in the world. Helle Liht Assistant General Secretary, European Baptist Federation<br>
