Synopsis
The authors are the co-founders of Someone To Tell It To, a non-profit ministry in Harrisburg, Pa., with the mission of creating a caring culture that accompanies others on journeys toward deeper connections. They are husbands, fathers, pastors, and mentors who want to inspire a movement for people to listen more intently and be more present in others lives. Their hope is that these stories help you understand what being more compassionate and emphatic can mean for your life and for the lives of those you encounter every day. Someone To Tell It To: Moved With Compassion is meant to be read slowly, in small portions. Each of the stories is intimate; they invite readers to reflect deeply on the examples they offer. Compassion requires an intentional consideration of another s circumstances, a grace that recognizes our common humanity in all its beauty and brokenness. While not every story may resonate personally and strongly with every reader, we pray that intentional consideration will move you toward a more empathetic response to the ever-present realities of the human experience. (360pp. Masthof Press, 2017.) All proceeds of this book will be used to help the ministry of Somone To Tell It To: To create a caring culture that accompanies others on the path toward meaningful connections.
Review
This book will change you; gently, kindly and surely. In the celebrating of our common humanity, Michael and Tom invite us to be open and present, to watch the changes in our own heart ripple into the world around us. --Wm. Paul Young, author of The Shack, Cross Roads, and Eve
Never feel alone! No darkness is too deep when we can share and relate to the depth of heart conveyed in these pages! --Terri Roberts, author of Forgiven: The Amish School Shooting, a Mother's Love, and a Story of Remarkable Grace
With poignant scenes and engaging stories, Michael and Tom share with readers the wisdom they've gleaned while ministering to those who are weak and worn and weary. By their example, Michael and Tom remind us that seemingly simple gifts, a warm meal, a gentle touch, a listening ear, and open embrace, can be powerful sacraments of healing, compassion, and grace. --Sarah Thebarge, author of The Invisible Girls and WELL
