In 'God of Compassion', Gerard Hughes, one of our finest contemporary spiritual writers, explores the essence of the message of the Christian gospel.
Bringing together storytelling, prayer and reflection on fifty key Bible passages, Hughes draws out the meaning for our lives of the covenant God has made with creation. It is a covenant that affects not only the depths of our sadness, despair and guilt, but our relations with others, and the political, economic and social structures in which we live.
Hughes reveals a Bible that offers an integrated way of living, in which the inner and the outer world are one, and prayerfulness goes hand in hand with the promotion of justice.
