When Martin Smith began sharing his band Delirious' music in poverty-ravaged cities in Cambodia, India and Africa, he simply couldn't forget all the troubling images he'd seen-and he didn't want to. Wanting to use his musical gifts to make a tangible difference, Smith and his wife Anna founded CompassionArt, a way to create freedom from poverty through artistic endeavors. Martin Smith gathered together twelve of today's most talented and respected Christian singer-songwriters, to write and record an album of songs with the direct aim of the relief of global poverty. This book is the record of the journeys that brought them there. "The Art of Compassion", offers further insight from the artists themselves on poverty, compassion and how we can make a different around the world.
