Pastor David Platt saw firsthand the need for change when he went on a week-long trek in the Himalayan Mountains. Change in his own heart and mind, change in his family, change in his church and in the Church. In those rugged, remote mountains he encountered desperate need. This was heart-rending need like he had never seen before: tremendous physical need, yes, but even more importantly, overwhelming spiritual need.
As you might imagine, that kind of need raised many questions for Platt. He found himself wrestling with God over them, struggling to sense God's presence in the face of extreme poverty, suffering, and spiritual darkness. By the end of the week, he was turned inside out and he knew, without a doubt, that he had been forever changed.
Journey along with David Platt to remote villages along treacherous mountain paths. Experience extreme cold, magnificent scenery, and new food (butter tea with yak milk anyone?). Meet villagers who welcomed Platt and those who spat on him. Talk with Buddhists, Christians, Tribal militants and Devil worshipers. Hear the stories of the blind, the diseased, the abused, the trafficked. See the desperate, the yearning, the hungry. But be warned, once you hear and see, you too may be forever changed. You too may hear God's call to use your life to bring his hope to the hopeless.
I received this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest review.
