The Way of Jesus Frank Rogers Jr.

Learn how to love as Jesus loved. Jesus was a spiritual teacher who demonstrated personal and social transformation. Jesus’ Way was a spirituality of radical compassion. He taught how to love and be loved by an extravagantly compassionate God; how to cultivate love for ourselves; and how to love our neighbors by extending love to the outcasts, the offensive, and even our enemies. Expanding on the foundation of Practicing Compassion, Rogers explains how to practice compassion in a world ravaged by violence, fear, and reactivity. He describes the way Jesus prepared his disciples to transform hardened hearts into compassionate hearts.

If Jesus were to create a school of compassion, this book could serve as an introductory text. It describes the spiritual and social practices by which we become more compassionate—in relation to God, ourselves, and the people in our lives.
