Doing Good Is Simple
Doing Good Is Simple: Making a Difference Right Where You Are | Chris Marlow
2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
What if you could become a powerful force for good in the world without moving overseas, burdening your overwhelmed family, or giving up the comforts of modern life? Chris Marlow, founder of the global advocacy organization Help One Now, once felt paralyzed in the face of global problems. They seemed too numerous, too complicated, too big—and after all, how much can one person really do? But a wake-up call in Zimbabwe and a closer study of Scripture soon showed Chris that maybe Christians are overcomplicating how to do act justly in a broken world. Maybe all God is calling us to do is set up a lemonade stand for a good cause. Doing Good is Simple is your practical guide to world change wherever you are. Through Chris’ own journey of an ordinary person seeking God’s good in the world, this book will: Empower you to make a difference where you are Redefine good according to God’s metrics of small, simple things with great love Bring global concepts down to earth for you to find your place in the area where God is calling you Disband the top myths we tell ourselves when it comes to world change and why we aren’t “enough” Free you from your first world guilt complex that drags you down Provide practical, accessible guidelines for getting started today

A great look at how we each can help tackle problems locally and globally. Marlow discussed the problems with short term mission trips and how he believed deeper relationships go further to initiate change in communities. He presents a challenge to the reader to start serving with the most impact.

An important read for anyone who has a heart for mission work and an important read for anyone who is unsure of how to take the first step.
