Synopsis

Every day, 30,000 children die from drinking contaminated water and from a lack of basic sanitation. Ten thousand people die from a lack of vaccinations, and 35,000 people starve to death. The scope of suffering in the world is staggering. It is not enough simply to offer to meet a person's physical need without spending equal time addressing his spiritual need. What is needed is a two-handed approach drawn directly from the Bible and from the life of Jesus. With God's help people should strive to practice it if they are truly to make an impact on the world. This book is a challenge to all who want to change the world with the message of the Gospel. It is not a treatise on mercy and compassion; it is a mandate - a mandate for mercy.
