Brave Soul: Lessons in Love, Risk, and the Power of Empathy
Ebook
Overview
What The Hole in Our Gospel did for justice and Daring
Greatly did for vulnerability, Brave Soul is about to do
for the most overlooked yet crucial of Christian values:
empathy.
Empathy is a risk. It means opening yourself up to connection—and
possibly getting hurt. It means entering into others’ lives in ways
that will push you outside who you thought you could be. It means
learning to care for others, and yourself, in ways that go far
beyond platitudes and easy answers into the very heart of what it
means to be alive.
But it also makes us stronger. It makes us closer. And it makes us
more like Jesus.
If we yearn to become wholehearted Jesus followers, we must be
willing to be brokenhearted for each other. So what do we do in
response to others’ pain? How do we show that we care when we feel
so helpless? And what difference can it make?
The answer lies in how God hardwired each of us. You have a
brave soul that, when you cultivate it, will make you more
like Him—a more loving, peaceful, purposeful force for good in our
world.
Brave Soul will change the way we understand ourselves, how
we grow our relationships with one another, and what we can do to
impact the world with the love of Jesus.
