A Sharp Compassion

How easily are you offended? In A Sharp Compassion, Chase Replogle shares seven hard words to heal our insecurities and free us from offense.

Growth and Healing

The topics covered are on offense, insecurity, obsession, imitation, affirmation, accusation, and healing. These are biblical themes that Replogle proves to be relevant and important to tackle today. This book is brilliantly written. I have imagined all of these stories about Jesus before — from Jesus turning water to wine to Jesus at the well with the Samaritan woman — but now I feel like I’ve seen them after having read this book.

Replogle is an incredibly gifted writer. He explains deep spiritual ideas in a way that is easy to understand, making the book approachable and hopeful – offering real healing and growth. Replogle helps readers face their vulnerabilities with kindness, and I was encouraged to find true spiritual strength through Christ’s love.

The Sword Does Not Dull

I was most moved on the chapter of insecurity. Replogle speaks of our impulse to collect — not just physical things, but we collect emotionally, relationally, and spiritually. I was called out on collecting titles, influence, and competence. I am compelled to embrace my insecurity and come to Christ in a posture of need.

This is a book you’ll want to return to, as the Holy Spirit continues to work in your soul. Replogle writes with lasting insights and encouragement that stay with you long after you’ve finished reading – Christ’s sharp compassion does not go dull.
