Hope Unleashed: Serving God Through Words and Actions
Andy Hawthorne
David C. Cook, 2009, 171 pp., $12.99, DavidCCook.com
Maybe you’ve been frustrated when someone who is ashamed to share his or her faith verbally and hides behind the famous Francis of Assisi quote, “Preach the gospel at all times and if necessary use words.”
Maybe you have an aversion to the catch-and-release, short-term missions that swing into town, preach the gospel then leave behind a group of people wondering if the sanctifying work of Christ makes any long-term impact on their community and lifestyle.
If you resonate with a mission that seeks to find the necessary, consistent balance of gospel-oriented speech and activity, then you thoroughly will enjoy it as Andy Hawthorne walks you through the Gospel of Luke and illustrates for you how Christ calls us to “preach the gospel at all times, using the best words and actions you have.”
