Marvin Olasky: The Tragedy of American Compassion
The final two chapters (12 and 13) are, by far, the most helpful with excellent suggestions on how to put true compassion into practice and how to best apply historical precedent to the present welfare situation. Olasky provides examples. “In the end,” he writes, “not much will be accomplished without a spiritual revival that transforms the everyday advice people give and receive, and the way we lead our lives” (p. 230).
