Recently, I had the opportunity to read Unfinished: Believing Is Only the Beginning, the new book from Richard Stearns, through Thomas Nelson’s BookSneeze program for bloggers. Stearns, of course, is the President of World Vision US.
I haven’t managed to get myself back into regular blogging of any kind, but this seemed like a good thing to take advantage of. If you’ve read my site for a while, it seems that one of the last reviews I wrote was of Stearns’ first book.

“In short, Jesus isn’t asking us to love the world all by ourselves. That’s not sustainable. Jesus is asking us to participate in communities of love, what he calls the Kingdom of God. Within these communities I will undergo diminishment on your behalf but I am soon filled and rehabilitated by others. I sacrifice to find abundance waiting for me on the other side. That is the vision of church.”
