Summary and Discussion of
Twelve Steps to a Compassionate Life by Karen Armstrong.
Karen Armstrong is the author of The Case for God,
A History of God, The Battle for God, and many
other books on world religions. At her TED Prize
speech in 2008, her wish for a better world was a
challenge to religious leaders of all faiths to draft the
Charter for Compassion, now affirmed by 78,123
people all over the world.

In this straight-forward, thought-provoking book, Karen
Armstrong sets out a program that can lead us to a more
compassionate life. She encourages compassion towards an
ever-widening circle, including oneself, and hardest of all,
even towards our enemies.
A more compassionate life could be the antidote to our “me
first” society and would improve all of our relationships.
The book is available from Amazon.com for hardcover
$12.47 [free shipping for orders over $25], paperback $11.09,
and Kindle $9.99.
*Early Partners of the Charter for Compassion include Unitarian Universalist Association of
Congregations, the MultiFaith Council of NW Ohio, and Erase the Hate Toledo.
