Mehr zum Buch

What does God expect of us? Is faith merely attending church and avoiding serious sins, or is there more? Rich Stearns faced this question a decade ago in Uganda, where he heard the heartbreaking story of an orphaned child. His journey involved answering God's call, leaving a prestigious corporate job to walk alongside the world's poorest. This compelling true story illustrates how a corporate CEO discovered the transformative power of the full gospel of Jesus Christ. Stearns emphasizes that the gospel was intended as a world-changing social revolution that starts with us. The book has garnered praise from influential figures, with Eugene H. Peterson calling it an urgent call for change, likening Stearns to a contemporary prophet advocating for justice. Gary Haugen highlights the exhilarating obedience to God's command to reflect love locally and globally. Bill Hybels commends Stearns as an inspiring leader, urging readers to a higher level of discipleship. Jim Morris emphasizes the clarity Stearns provides on God's expectations, while Max Lucado notes the strategic role of World Vision in responding to crises and loving neighbors. Chuck Colson challenges Christians to embrace the whole gospel by caring for the vulnerable, prompting readers to reflect on their own actions.
