God's Gravity: The Upside-Down Life of Selfless Faith Book

I sort of got tired of hearing about all these sad circumstances around the world...it was touching and challenging to read about the current state of many people (poverty, disease, hunger, etc). The author spent 150 pages explaining a Christian's call to responsibility, obedience and sacrifice that is found in the Bible and really bangs the drum about getting out of your "me-first" mentality and thinking about others (especially the poor). He only spent a mere 15 pages explaining what little ways I can change or how I can help the poor. It took me literally over 4 months to read this book...because I could only handle reading it for so long before I started to get depressed. I just wished there was more I could do or ways the author interspersed hope. I serve a God who is bigger than all these problems around the world...I just wish there more I could do.

Oh, and I really liked chapter 7...it was an in depth look at the book of Job in the Bible. Very insightful.

So, if you feel like your life sucks...just pick up this book and get a better perspective of the world around you and how to start to live a life that is pulled by "God's Gravity".
