Discover a path of radical compassion rooted in the way of Jesus.


How do we practice love and compassion for ourselves and others in a world marred by conflict and violence in our families, communities, institutions--and even our own hearts? In Compassion in Practice: The Way of Jesus, internationally renowned compassion teacher Frank Rogers introduces the spiritual path of radical compassion Jesus walked and taught, grounded in God's extravagant love for all people. This path transforms hardened hearts and brings healing and wholeness to even the most challenging situations.


In this inspiring and practical book, you'll discover a series of practices to ground and restore you through self-compassion as you cultivate an ethic of radical care that extends not only to loved ones, neighbors, and strangers, but also to enemies, opponents, and oppressors. Illuminated with extraordinary real-life stories of restorative love in action, these practices will equip you to step heart-first into a challenging world, ready to engage in a new way that beats with the pulse of compassion.


This updated and revised edition provides specific practices for compassionate social activism, more interfaith conversation, and a "compassion compass" to help orient you as you travel the path of healing and restoration.


In Compassion in Practice, you will learn:



  • The six essential dimensions of authentic compassion

  • A compassion practice that softens hardened hearts and accesses our best self

  • Spiritual exercises to cultivate compassion for yourself and others

  • The critical difference between empathy and compassion

  • How to practice compassion with a difficult person or amid violence and injustice

  • Ten principles of empowered and just compassionate action
