"Just can't seem to get this book out of my head. It was an easy read and wasn't filled with unnecessary or needless words. Here's what stuck to me: The rich young man (Mt. 19:16) and the law expert (Lk. 10:25) ask Jesus, "What must I do to get eternal life?" In both instances, Jesus refers to the poor, our neighbors. Keller's explanation of the Parable of the Good Samaritan was eye-opening. Keller, pg. 65: "Of course, many true Christians do not evidence the social concern the Bible says is a mark of real faith. How do we explain that? Though it may not be in evidence, a heart for the poor sleeps in all Christians until someone preaches grace in connection with the ministry of mercy.""
"I really love this book and keep it nearby - the only reason I gave it 4 stars for me is that there is quite a bit that relates to churches - but it is a scriptural call to recognizing what my "Jericho road" is"
"Really enjoyed this one from Keller. Goes through the story of the Good Samaritan and pulls out a lot of practical teaching. Especially enjoyed his charge to "give promiscuously" and show mercy to all - because all believers have been shown mercy (without having to earn it.) He also gives practical instruction on how to give and when to "let mercy limit mercy" - i.e. when to stop giving if it is being taken with no effort made to change lifestyles or take responsibility. I also liked what Tim said about families have a mercy ministry together - and that the ministry that God calls your family to will overflow into generous giving."
