The Hole in Our Gospel

I started this book a long time ago, but it took me a long time to really delve into it, I think because I knew it would be convicting. And it certainly was, but convicting with hope. Stearns emphasizes that God is asking us to be faithful to the things He has called us to do. It has left me thinking and praying about being more responsive to that calling and especially figuring out where my place is in the work God is doing around the world.

This book is a call to action. Whether you hold a Christian worldview or otherwise, the book discusses our responsibility to the world around us. And what a HUGE impact we can have on people!

Most exciting for me was learning about microloans in third world countries and how I can partner with somebody who, like me, has an entrepreneurial spirit but just lacks the resources. There's definitely a place for literally feeding a hungry woman, but if I can support her in starting a business that enables her to feed her family or even employ others, all the better!

All that to say: I recommend the book. And lending a hand. :)
