The Hole in Our Gospel



“2000 years ago 12 men changed the world” This was a statement made by Richard Stearns in is book titled The Hole in Our Gospel. Richard, former CEO of a Lenox left the company, his big house, nice cars, and I am sure a nice paycheck. He left all to work for World Vision a Christian Humanitarian charity that serves over 100 counties. Richard talks about the struggle he went through to make that choice and also about the commitment he made to God that he would serve him.

The Hole in Our Gospel is a must read for all people who know or seek Christ in their life. If you are seek for Him I say read this book, If you have come know Him I say read this book as a reminder as to why we follow him.

Richard, share experiences that he has gone through as president of World Vision, like Rodrick from Zambia who at one time was so poor that he “literally had nothing” But through World Vision was given some money to start a business and when Richard returned four years later he saw Rodrick and the good that he had done in his town.

This book is a must read!!!

The Noticer By Andy Andrews


“What is it about me that other people would change if they could” was a question asked by an old man named Jones, to a young 23 year old man who was down on his luck and living under a Pier. Andy Andrews, in his new book titled The Noticer, talks about this mysterious man named Jones who’s only true gift in life is that he notices “things that other people overlook.” Mr. Andrews goes on to tell about how this man named Jones comes into peoples lives and help them see the things that are missing and to give them a new perspective.

This book is one that I have recommend to family, friends and anyone that I see that needs a little pick me up. Just like Andy’s other books they leave you thinking about life and the choices that we make. The Noticer, if read with an open mind can help you see the things that need to be changed in your own life.
