Everyone has had that moment--we see a need in our church, our
school, our neighborhood, our family, or our world and we think,
Someone really should get to work on that, never imagining
that we might be the answer to that need. We don't have the
time, the expertise, the money. We've got careers to manage, bills
to pay, meals to prepare, and families to attend to. Besides, who
are we to think we can change the world?
In this encouraging and empowering book, Deidra Riggs calls readers
to accept God's invitation to join him in making a difference right
where they are, regardless of their current life stage. She shows
readers that they were created with a purpose and with the
capacities to fulfill that purpose. And she reminds them that it's
not up to us to fix the world, but it is up to us to join
God--and the rest of his people--in his redemptive work. For when
God calls and we look over our shoulder and answer, "Who, me?" God
always emphatically answers, "Yes, you."
"If you've ever thought that you aren't one of the world
changers, get ready to be proven wrong." --Sarah Bessey, author
of Jesus Feminist and Out of Sorts
