Synopsis

Pastor Tracy Wilde reflects on the absence of empathy in today’s world and shares how Christians can renew their compassion to help unify not only the church, but society as well, in this timely and refreshing guide.

Achieving meaningful relationships and cultivating lasting connections with others are often some of the most valuable experiences of our lives. So why can it sometimes feel so difficult to relate to the people around us if we all share the same human desire to bond?

In Finding the Lost Art of Empathy, Tracy Wilde addresses the reasons why we struggle with showing empathy toward others and explains why we ultimately avoid it—and even avoid contact with others altogether. She explores the different facets that have promoted isolation instead of community and provides the antidote for a more unified, loving, and empathetic society. Inspirational and encouraging, Wilde inspires us to self-reflect and remove whatever obstacles from our lives that may be blocking our way to true fulfillment in our relationships—and living life the way God intends us to.

Goodreads review by Dorothy

Wilde makes some good points but way too much filler in between. (Or perhaps I'm just not empathetic enough?)......more

I read this book in one sitting, through tears and laughter. The topics of lament, loss, grief, and anger at God are all commonly experienced but not discussed much among my circles. Mostly because these topics can be seen as enemies of our faith. I think silence is the enemy of faith, and I'm grate......more

Goodreads review by Annie

Tracy uses her experience of losing her fiancé tragically to teach others how to relate and engage in their difficult times when we are so used to never having to interact face to face. Tracy is a great story teller and is very engaging. This isn’t like other “fluffy” Christian books that I feel lik......more
