The World is Learning CompassionIs there any hope for our world? One of the most compassionate men the world has ever known, a great missionary and teacher, Frank C. Laubach shows how the compassion of Christ is reaching through and beyond the church to save the world. He cites example after example in exciting profusion: World Health Organization, United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund, Rockefeller, For and other foundations, Red Cross, Student Volunteer Movement, medical missionaries, equality for women, private enterprise, heifer projects, CARE, World Neighbors, and many others, as well as some of the work of the various Christian denominations. Our chief problem today is not communism, Dr. Laubach says; it is the hunger which gave birth to communism--the hunger of body, mind and soul. We are running a race, he warns, between compassion and suicide. This book is his eloquent witness to the conviction that compassion is on the march. -Publisher |
