Instead of separating social issues from spirituality as he was often advised to do, he points to a personal God in Jesus who invites us to love and be loved, to be intimately known and valued in all of our questions and struggle.

Reading this book made me want to punch the author in the face, and Paul Harrington attracted that. This book would probably be enjoyed by people who are living in economic and physical comfort, as it would make them feel like they definitely deserve all of life's advantages and literally don't have to worry about those less fortunate, because such ill fortune is contagious. But who needs to be compassionate when everything one wants in life-success, money and love-can be achieved by wanting them really hard and avoiding people who might bring one down. Hardly a philosophical work destined to make this a more compassionate world where we seek to understand others.
