Review of The Hole in our Gospel

Wow! What an incredible book to read and meditate with. This book caused me to think so far outside the box and from what I'm normally used to thinking. Now I am called to think less of myself and more of those surrounding me.

This book has challenged me on many levels. One level that has stuck out the most deals with self vs. others. I sometimes tend to focus on the needs of self before the needs of others. This book has given me the reminder and chance to step back and look to reality about how I need to serve and meet the needs of others--alongside sharing the Gospel. Both meeting needs and sharing the Gospel should work hand in hand and not by theirselves.

I've also learned to appreciate what I have and be thankful for the little things that I often forget. This book has allowed me to refocus my life and lead more to sharing what the HOLE Gospel looks like instead of the parts that we chop up to fit in our lives for which we like.
