More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Committed to bringing the Christian message to young people in his hometown of Manchester, Andy Hawthorne was shocked when a missions partner told him he shouldn t just preach the gospel but also engage in community projects. It worked. The Message Trust has been recognized internationally as bringing hope and change to the roughest, poorest neighborhoods of Manchester. And it got him thinking: What, exactly, should the priority of the church be? Should it be the lamp on a stand bold, unashamed gospel proclamation to as many as possible? Or should it be more salt and yeast serving and blessing the vulnerable and the marginalized, with no questions asked? The answer, of course, is both. Christians who truly want to follow Jesus should explain the good news with words but also make sure to demonstrate the gospel through what s been described as random acts of kindness. Written in a passionate, nonreligious style, Hope Unleashed is filled with moving true stories and practical ideas and strategies for Christian mission based on word and deed.

Unleash your Hope
27 Aug 2009
Format:Paperback
Have you ever seen something or read something so exciting that you just wanted to get up off your couch and go try it? But as you do, you stop in your tracks and think...Where do I start?
That's how I feel after this book. Not that it leaves me hanging, but I'm in that place where I want to do something, I want to reach out more, but where do I start.
That's when God taps me on the shoulder every so slightly and says " You start on your knees.. praying. Then I'll show you the way."
Hope Unleashed is such an awesome read. Andy Hawthorne does a wonderful job not only sharing his heart for local missions, but also his own struggles in getting it done.
Andy shares, through the life of Christ, how he has seen what God truly desires for the church to be doing. I so enjoyed this because I myself get caught up in 'doing church' that I forget that Jesus wants to be 'going out' and sharing the good news with others.
If your looking for a good, encouraging book on what it means to let your Hope Unleashed, check this one out.

Good questions to ask yourself
26 Aug 2009
Format:Paperback
Although I enjoyed the premise of this book, for some reason the writing didn't grab me like I expected. At the end of each chapter there are questions to ask yourself for further thought, that were outstanding. Nothing fluffy, but the kind of thinking that could really change your life.
