Synopsis

For Jesus, truth and mercy went hand in hand. Where he preached he also healed. He didn't outsource one or the other to biblical scholars or nonprofit ministries. He presented the truth of the gospel through his words and his actions, and he did it all in a hands-on, relational way. And the reaction was the same wherever he went--people were amazed. Today we seem to have lost this powerful pattern of self-giving love, focusing on truth at the expense of mercy or on mercy at the expense of truth, and often failing to build genuine, lasting relationships with the people around us. In The God Impulse, Jack Alexander helps us recover Jesus's model, showing through biblical and modern real-life stories that God's first impulse toward us is mercy. He then sets forth a pattern for us to follow--to see, go, do, and endure--that not only spreads truth and love to those around us who are suffering but also causes them to gasp in amazement and consider the claims of the gospel for themselves.

Alexander speaks to the church through the wonderful story of The Good Samaritan. While th......more

This is a Goodreads win review. When I see the news every day it seems all we see is violence, twitter fighting, trashing the President, global disasters. It is very depressing to see the World like this. So this book is a breath of fresh air to me. This book talks about the ministry of Jesus and ho......more

Goodreads review by Gina on September 01, 2018

This book goes into great detail about how we should be showing mercy to this world. Jesus displayed this through the story of the Good Samaritan in Luke. The author divides mercy into four parts including: see, go, do and endure. I think that the author did a great job of bringing in Scripture refe......more

Goodreads review by victoria on August 17, 2018

This book had great powerful writing with a compelling storing. This book will be of immense interest to conservative Christians who tend, by a reductionist packaging of the gospel, not to see or go to human need because the gospel story is made much to vertical. But the book will be equally of imme......more
