How (Not) To Save The World

 

This was an inspiring and fun book to read. Saying that, I also felt like this is one of the most powerful book on evangelizing I have read. I always felt that I wasn't doing all I could for God because I do not go out on the mission field. However, the mission field can be at your own doorstep. 

We are asked to take care of those around us, just as Jesus did for everyone around him. We are to care and love others as well as share Jesus's love with them. This involves wanting to listen to other's stories and being willing to share your own.

I love the simplicity of this book and the variety of "call out" that are included throughout. These call outs emphasize the high points in a fun way.

I recommend this book most highly for all.

I was given this book by NetGalley and Thomas Nelson--W Publishing. All opinions are my own.

Book Review: Volunteering Leith Anderson

I was given this book by NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
I have been a volunteer in our church for many years, and it amazes me how many of the things that need done there is done by volunteers. This well-written book tells about building a volunteer system in the church. It talks about identifying and using individual spiritual gifts to help the church to thrive. It also shares ways to steer clear of some of the pitfalls, or burnouts of volunteers.
I feel like this would be a good book for any of the church staff.
