A Compassionate Heart: 90 Our Daily Bread Reflections on Sharing the Love of Christ

What does it mean to love like God?

Sometimes we get lost in our human definition of love. But we forget a key component of the Father’s care for His people--compassion. It’s compassion that fuels us to love others well. 

A Compassionate Heart invites you on a 90-day devotional journey to explore the heart of God. through story-based devotions from Our Daily Breadauthor Bill Crowder. Focusing on the Father’s character of compassion, you’ll develop a greater appreciation for His love and be compelled to share that love with others.

Bill Crowder joined the Our Daily Bread Ministries staff in 2001 after more than 20 years in the pastorate stretching from West Virginia to southern California to west Michigan. Over the years, Bill has spent much of his time in a Bible-conference ministry around the world, serving ODBM offices and their outreach to their local communities. 

Bill is a contributing writer for the Our Daily Bread devotional and has written many Bible study booklets for ODBM’s Discovery Series. He has also published a number of books with Our Daily Bread Publishing, including Wisdom for Our Worries. Bill also serves as cohost on Discover the Word, a podcast and daily radio program heard nationwide. 

Now semiretired, Bill and his wife, Marlene, live in North Carolina. They have been married for over 45 years and have five adult children and a growing legion of grandchildren. To relax, Bill enjoys playing golf whenever possible, and following sports, especially the English Premier League’s Liverpool Football Club.
