Description
The Hole In Our Gospel by Richard Stearns is a Christian nonfiction work that challenges readers to reconsider the practical meaning and scope of the Christian faith. Drawing from Stearns’ personal transition from corporate leadership to humanitarian work with World Vision, the book explores the tension between spiritual belief and social responsibility.
The narrative is shaped by Stearns’ experiences in global poverty contexts, including a formative encounter in Uganda, which prompts a re-evaluation of what it means to live out the teachings of the Gospel. The book argues that faith should extend beyond private devotion and church practice to include active engagement with issues such as poverty, injustice, and human suffering.
Blending memoir, theological reflection, and advocacy, the text examines how religious belief translates into action in the modern world. It encourages readers to consider the ethical and social implications of their faith, particularly in relation to vulnerable communities.
The Hole In Our Gospel is suited to readers of Christian nonfiction, inspirational memoirs, and faith-based social commentary who are interested in the intersection of spirituality, ethics, and humanitarian action.
