My Review of "Possible"

Stephen Bauman's Possible:  A Blueprint for Changing How We Change the World describes ordinary people that yearn for change and justice in a world filled with suffering and claims that it is possible to change the world.  Possible is filled with extensive first-hand experience working in countries crushed by poverty, those vivid stories that tell the realities, struggles, joys, and beliefs of people suffering all over the world.  These stories make Possible interesting, convicting, and creditable.

And Bauman's stories are littered with Scripture, theologians, and cultural references -- all of which make his vision for changing how we change the world that much more engaging.

This is the book Christians need to challenge that long-standing lie that ordinary people cannot bring change, that only "important" and "powerful" people can bring change.

And in the end he offers a convincing and compelling case for a social justice that is at the heart of God's love for the world.

I received a free copy of this book as part of the Blogging for Books program in exchange for my honest review here.
