"I think everyone should have to read this book christian or not. This is a book that I will go back and read. It makes you relize how much we have and made me want to help others more than what I was doing. After reading this I sponsored a third child from Africa. And each time I go back and reread some parts of it it makes me want to sponsor more. I want (like Richard Stearns said many times in the book) the things that break Gods heart to break mine also."
"I began to read this book and was almost in tears before Chapter Two. If you have a heart for missions or if you see the need for more Christian action and not words, you should read this book.
He is not an unknown man. Richard Stearns was CEO of a Lenox, Inc. when something or better said Someone opened his eyes to the great need of our time.
In The Hole in Our Gospel: The Answer that Changed My Life and Might Just Change the World, Richard Stearns writes of how he came to be the CEO of World Vision, an international Christian humanitarian organization.
What is it that power, prestige, a financial stability can never provide? The satisfaction of knowing you are seeking out those that Jesus sought during His earthly ministry. This book is a call to action for those who believe that their lives are examples of success while they turn a blind eye to the needs of the people of this world.
By revealing sins of omission as well as sins of commission, Stearns strongly takes the position that it is no longer acceptable to turn away from the hungry, the poor or the underprivileged. It should not be to Christians and it is not to God, as stated in Proverbs 24:12
If you say, “Surely we did not know this,” Does not He who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, does He not know it? And will He not render to each man according to his deeds?
My personal take on this book was I was invigorated, challenged, and simply grateful to read a Christian book where the author is actually taking Jesus at His word and following His example. Our airwaves and bookstores are flooded with the principles of prosperity.
I also loved the great selections of quotes used throughout the book from some of the greatest minds like St. Francis of Assisi and C. S. Lewis. This book would be a great compliment to any library. I have donated my review copy to my home church. I recommend it highly for those who seek a deeper walk.

"an extremely transparent and tender book on an amazing Christian businessman with feet of clay who leads, and serves, an organization out of the Seattle area here, World Vision International. this book is a life-changer, it was for me anyway, just what price am i willing to pay to do whatever God wants me to, in spite of myself. i love this book and highly recommend it to anyone working in the extreme poverty and hunger advocacy, those like me who are hesitant to move out of comfort zone, with anyone and everyone. this has joined the ranks of one of my favorite autobiographies ever."
