Christ never meant for us to be content with a stained-glass Christianity. Lucado reminds his readers of the dirty feet that accompany the gospel of peace. He challenges Christians to preach the gospel with ready lips and calloused hands.
This book nearly moved me to tears at times. It was an easy, yet spiritually refreshing read. Many authors have called for a Christianity that touches the world. So what's different about this book? Lucado writes with a pathos that doesn't leave the reader feeling guilt-ridden for not doing enough; rather, he leaves the reader's heart full of images of the love of Christ. After all, isn't it His love that is to compel us, rather than a sense of duty? I doubt a true Christian could read this book and not be moved at least in some way to reach a little further to touch the world. This book is a spiritual glass of ice water. Are you thirsty?
