Awake

Even the poorest people in America are amongst the top five percent of the wealthiest people in the world. We may not always feel rich, but we are so rich, in fact, that we have the means to alleviate suffering around the world. So why don't we? The truth is that we know we should help those less fortunate than us, and we're even commanded to do so if we're Christians, but the needs of the world are so overwhelming. Where do we start? Where can we make the most impact? This compelling, story-driven book urges Christians to open their eyes to the needs of a hurting world and then open their hearts and hands in service. It is a gripping, to-the-point challenge to readers to get involved in realistic, positive change-one life at a time. Building on more than twenty years of experience in humanitarian and relief efforts around the world, author Noel Brewer Yeatts helps readers realize just how blessed they are-and just how much they gain by giving back.
