Description
Richard Stearns shows that the Bible boldly speaks that there is no "whole gospel" without compassion and justice shown to the poor. With more than 260,000 copies sold, The Hole in Our Gospel continues to impact readers worldwide, and this new edition includes updated statistics, photos, and a foreword from the current World Vision president.
Is our faith only about going to church, studying the Bible, and avoiding the most serious sins? Or does God expect more? Have we embraced the whole gospel or a gospel with a hole in it?
More than twenty years ago, Rich Stearns came face-to-face with that question as he sat in a mud hut in Rakai, Uganda, listening to the heartbreaking story of an orphaned child. Stearns's journey took much more than a long flight to Africa. It took answering God's call on his life, a call that tore him out of his corner office at one of America's most prestigious corporations, to walk with the poorest of the poor in our world.
Stearns's compelling story demonstrates that the whole gospel was always meant to be a world-changing social revolution, a revolution that begins with each one of us. With more than 260,000 copies sold, this revised and updated edition will be part of World Vision's 75th anniversary.
