practicing compassion

Compassion is something most of us value, but knowing how to practice it, especially in difficult moments, is another matter. In Practicing Compassion, Frank Rogers Jr. moves compassion beyond an admirable ideal and offers a practical approach for making it part of how we encounter ourselves, other people, and the world.

Drawing from stories and wisdom across faith traditions, Rogers explores compassion as a deeply human form of connection. Rather than simply feeling sympathy for another person, compassion asks us to pay closer attention, seek genuine understanding, recognize our shared humanity, and respond in ways that foster healing and connection.
