Jesus lived and breathed compassion. He was and is compassion itself. A Call to Compassion is your personal invitation to discover the joy of committing your life to a cause higher than your own personal desires and learn to be a reflection of God's steadfast love. Be inspired by the stories of these eleven great women:
- Catherine Booth, cofounder of the Salvation Army
- Nancy Ward, hero and "last beloved lady" of the Cherokee Nation
- Florence Nightingale, reformer and pioneer of health care and a well-trained nursing profession
- Gladys Aylward, missionary to the sick, orphans, and poor in China
- Mother Teresa, devoted servant to the poor in Calcutta, India, and the world
- Amy Carmichael, missionary in India, serving girls offered as temple prostitutes by their parents
- Catherine Drexel, nun who gave away millions of dollars to help Native Americans and African Americans
- Phoebe Palmer, mother of the Holiness Movement
- Hannah More, well-known writer who worked for the abolition of slavery
- Elizabeth Fry, prison reformer in England and Europe
- Heidi Baker, passionate missionary "compelled by love" to the poor in Mozambique, Africa, and the world
