Unfinished: Believing Is Only the Beginning

"World Vision president Richard Stearns shares scripture and inspiring stories of people who make a difference to encourage a renewed sense of passion, meaning, and purpose in all Christians. The book explains the Christian response to God's invitation to be part of His greater work, which Stearns describes as finding one's own unique calling. With warmth and clarity, narrator Wayne Shepherd explains why patience and faithfulness are necessary in a journey of self-discovery. He perfectly renders Stearns's counsel to live the teachings of scripture because that effort is how listeners will find their unique callings. Stearns also criticizes consumer-oriented churches that entice attendance with latte bars or Vegas-style music, efforts that he believes are contrary to biblical teachings." G.D.W.

So you believe in God. Now what? Just before he left, Jesus sent his followers into the world with a revolutionary mission: to change the world by proclaiming God's truth and demonstrating his incredible love. But the single task he gave us to accomplish remains unfinished. Rich Stearns takes us on a breathtaking journey to rediscover the critical mission of Christ in our world today and the richness of God's calling on our lives. Have you wondered why we are here, what our purpose is, and where we fit in the bigger story that God is writing? How should our faith affect our careers, our money, our families, and our lives? And why does it matter? We will find our deepest purpose only when we discover the unique role God created for us to play in his unfolding story.
