(Multnomah, 2019)

WHO: David Platt, lead pastor at McLean Bible Church and the former president of the International Mission Board.

THE BIG IDEA: This book encourages readers to examine their lives and determine what needs to change to effect change with the hope of Jesus in a world that needs him.

THE PROGRESSION:
The author takes readers along on his journey through the Himalayas as he shares personal insights of what it was like to see the desperate need the world has for Jesus.
