Everyone wants their life to count. We all wish we could make a difference in a hurting world. The good news is that we can. Despite our own brokenness (and, in fact, because of it) each of us can be Jesus's hands and feet on Earth, reaching out to others in real and profound ways. With powerful true stories, illustrations from the life of Christ, and specific activities for readers to engage, DO Something! is a hopeful and practical book that shows how to live out faith in a way that improves people's lives. With transparency and humility, Miles McPherson shares his own shortcomings as a young pastor trying to connect with people in need. Stressing the importance of hurting with people before you can do something for them, McPherson takes readers through the 5 P's of making their lives count: preparation, purpose, pain, power, and passion. By putting into practice the principles found in this book, readers will experience spiritual fulfillment as they see that they can make a real difference in the lives of those around them.
About the author
Miles McPherson is a man radically transformed by God. Even after fulfilling his youthful dreams of a successful collegiate football career and playing in the NFL, he was spiritually empty and on a path of destruction in the form of cocaine use. During his second season in the NFL, though, two of his teammates told him about God's amazing love and grace. Finally, one morning, McPherson had his first encounter with Jesus Christ and decided to follow Him. The moment he relinquished control of his life, he found God's power was evident. He was delivered from his drug habit, experienced positive changes in his daily life and actions, and was reunited with a girlfriend, who is now his wife. God soon set him on a new path: serving in ministry, learning theology, and preaching the Gospel. He had great dreams as a young man, but he never imagined the joy and fulfillment he would experience in sharing God's love with others.
