We Were Wrong

by Keith Stewart

Overview

We Were Wrong is the story of a pastor who travelled halfway around the world thinking he was going to save Africa only to discover God had the opposite in mind. God would use Africa to save him from himself and his self-serving paradigm of ministry. This is a story of conversion and waking up to an expansive view of the fullness of the gospel.

Editorial Reviews

I was wrong. I'm sorry. These are among the most difficult words to say because they're so powerful. When my friend Keith Stewart put these words in a full-page ad in the local paper, they changed his life, his congregation, and impacted the lives of thousands and thousands of children around the world. Read this book and experience the power of those five little words.

World Vision - Richard Stearns

My Father, Bob Pierce, always wanted to inspire others to step up to the plate and use their gifts to serve Christ without fear or apology. Pastor Keith Stewart has done just that with this book.

World Vision - Marilee Pierce Dunker

Few church communities have ever publicly admitted that they were wrong; fewer yet have worked as hard at turning things around than Keith Stewart and his church. Chronicling a journey from avoidance to encounter and conversion, this book draws us into the reign of God from the bottom up and leaves no doubt that more is yet to come.

Some pastors focus on winning converts for Jesus; others make the Kingdom ethics of Jesus their first love. Keith Stewart sees evangelism and social justice as two ways of describing about the same mission.
