David Platt: Something Needs to Change

Something Needs to Change: A Call to Make Your Life Count in a World of Urgent Need
(Multnomah, 2019)

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

HE SAYS: “What we need is not an explanation of the Word and the world that puts more information in our heads; we need an experience with the Word in the world that penetrates the recesses of our hearts.”

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.

“The more you give your life spreading the love of Jesus in a world of urgent need, the more you will experience the joy of Jesus in your life.”
