Lucado points to the first 12 chapters of Acts in the Bible to encourage listeners to put their love for Christ into action by loving those in need. Acting with compassion, he believes, can change the course of human suffering. Dan Butler ably delivers the author’s examples of individuals whose actions have “rocked the world with hope.” Especially inspiring is Butler’s narration of real-life stories of compassionate individuals, particularly seniors such as 80-year-old Edith, who works with cancer patients, and Page, who makes doll-size clothes for premature infants. Butler’s enthusiastic delivery emphasizes the author’s pointed message: "God's secret weapon in the war on poverty includes your kitchen table and mine." G.D.W. © AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine
Dear Friend,
May I share a story that is very dear to my heart?
It's a story of hillbillies and simple folk, net casters and tax collectors. A story of a movement that exploded like a just-opened fire hydrant out of Jerusalem and spilled into the ends of the earth: into the streets of Paris, the districts of Rome, and the ports of Athens, Istanbul, Shanghai, and Buenos Aires. A story so mighty, controversial, head spinning, and life changing that two millennia later we wonder:
Might it happen again?
Heaven knows we hope so. These are devastating times: 1.75 billions people are desperately poor; one billion are hungry. Lonely hearts indwell our neighborhoods and attend our schools. In the midst of it all, here we stand: you, me, and our one-of-a-kind lives. We are given a choice ... an opportunity to make a big difference during a difficult time. What if we did? What if we rocked the world with hope?
Worth a try, don't you think?
