During a trek through the Himalayas, David Platt encountered people with urgent physical and spiritual needs: A man whose family had died for lack of medicine. A twelve-year-old who'd been trained to solicit sex. Even a body, burning on a funeral pyre-a person who'd died without hearing about Jesus. Shaken, David was forced to ask hard questions about where hope can be found for the oppressed, the exploited, the poor, and those with no access to the gospel. Maybe you've asked the same questions. The reality of suffering leaves us feeling overwhelmed. We pray for God to change their circumstances. Yet we, too, are in need of change. So what hope do we have to offer? You don't have to travel the world to find answers. Join bestselling author David Platt on a soul-searching journey to discover how each of us, starting right where we are, can play an active role in bringing good news to a world in need. Because something really does need to change if people are to be reached with the hope of God. And, by God's grace, that change needs to happen in and through us. Book jacket.
