Compassion in Practice

Dr. Lyon creates a converstaional tone in this text while setting a challenging theme. Her personal anecdotes give practicality to the notion that to be "blessed" is more about human connections touching recesses of the soul and impacting human experience (meaningful compassion) more than it does having the material abundance we may have inadvertantly become accustomed to in the West. This deeply intimate work on compassionate outreach avoids tones of preachiness or oversimplification. To be awakened in blessings that may be overlooked - this is a refreshing read.
