How can we bring hope to a broken world?
For Christians who want to recapture sacred expressions of worship and love--modeled by Jesus, rooted in Scripture, and lived through courageous action.
The brokenness around us is undeniable. We see it. We feel it. But knowing how to respond isn't always easy. It's understandable if you've felt conflicted or just plain weary.
Courageous Compassion invites us to rediscover the sacred call to justice and mercy--the very heart of God and a path that brings healing to a hurting world. Too often, justice is mistaken for judgment and mercy for weakness. In this powerful book, musical artist and teacher Ginny Owens corrects these misunderstandings. Through the stories of David and Mephibosheth, Daniel, Lydia, and others--alongside real-life examples from today--Owens shows how God uses ordinary people to embody His extraordinary love.
Justice and mercy are acts of worship and love. Owens equips readers to live with both courage and compassion--grounded in truth and guided by wisdom. You'll learn how to avoid burnout, set healthy boundaries, and navigate the complex realities of embodying Christ's love in everyday life.
This book is for anyone who longs to live a life that reflects the heart of God--and who is ready to walk the sometimes difficult, yet always meaningful, path of courageous compassion.
The journey of justice and mercy isn't a quick fix. It's a daily invitation. A way of life. And though the road is long and often uncomfortable, it's one each of us is called to walk.
And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. --Micah 6:8
