What does it mean to be a witness of charity?

In this book, Witness of Charity, J. F. Rodrigo examines this question by means of understanding the true meaning of Christian love.

Love—a theological virtue—is highly misunderstood by most Christians. As you work through this reasoned study, Rodrigo encourages all Christians to pay heed and fully understand the foundational premises of this virtue. With a concrete understanding of this virtue, you will be able to navigate and resolve daily challenges confronted in everyday life situations; and by applying this virtue, you will move closer to Jesus and increasingly becoming a true witness of charity!

Arranged as a back-to-the-basics study book, in Witness of Charity, you’ll learn the answers to several key questions:

• What is the true meaning of Christian charity?
  
• What is the true meaning of Christian love?
  
• What is the true meaning of Christian mercy?
  
• Does the Law—10 Commandments—apply to a Christian?
  
• How are we justified, by our works or by our faith?
  
• What does it really mean to love our neighbour?
  
• What does it really mean to love our enemy?
  
• What does it really mean to be a Good Samaritan?
  
• And, what is the Ultimate source of Christian love?
  

Even though theological and sometimes pedantic in his explanations, with clarity and cogency Rodrigo explains the answers to these questions and many more.

In sum: written in clear and plain English for the person-in-the-pew, Witness of Charity is both a study of the true meaning of Christian love and a rallying cry for all Christians—Catholics, Orthodox, Protestants, Anglicans—to wake up, be alert, understand, and live out the faith we profess. Keeping things in perspective, Rodrigo, applies realistic explanations and conclusions providing an enduring testament to the power of true Christian love; as a result of reading this book, you will receive the necessary foundational tools to navigate life’s complexities and become a faithful witness of charity!
