Description
Book SynopsisBestselling Christian author Timothy Keller shows how to become more compassionate, more committed and more effective 'Good Samaritans' to those in need today
Trade ReviewI commend this book to all who would heed Jesus’ call to be ministers of mercy: to walk with him along the paths of justice, mercy and truth. * John Sentamu, Archbishop of York *
Tim Keller's ministry had been a neon signpost for Christian's looking for biblical reasons for social engagement. Ministries of Mercy explores the story of the Good Samaritan as a compelling basis for acts of mercy. * Joel Edwards, General Director of the Evangelical Alliance, 1997-2009 *
Tim Keller has approached a challenging subject with typical biblical integrity. * Eleanor Mumford, founder of Vineyard Churches, UK and Ireland *
