The hole in our Gospel
Personal Author EPSB:
Summary:
"The Hole in our Gospel" tells the compelling true story of corporate CEO Richard Stearns, who set aside worldly success for something far more significant, and discovered the full power of the gospel of Jesus Christ to change his own life. Stearns says Christians have a huge hole in their lives, an emptiness that comes from ignoring the plight of the poor. He details his own quest to fill this hole by leaving Lenox Inc., where he was CEO, to run World Vision, a not-for-profit organization that helps feed, clothe, and educate children worldwide. Unlike many evangelical Christians, Stearns believes poverty is explained by something more than choices, and lifting cultures from the systemic causes of poverty requires a multi-pronged approach. Stearns tells his story to demonstrate how the gospel - the whole gospel - was always meant to be a world-changing social revolution, a revolution that begins with us.
