UNfinished: Believing Is Only the Beginning by Richard Stearns is a book that challenges readers to move beyond their comfort zones and make a difference in the world. Stearns is the President of World Vision, a Christian humanitarian organization that provides aid and assistance to those in need around the globe. In UNfinished, Stearns shares his own personal journey of faith and how it led him to World Vision. He also shares stories of individuals who have taken action to make a difference in the lives of others. #unfinished
UNfinished: Believing Is Only the Beginning by Richard Stearns
My wife and I listened to the audiobook during our commute using Libby App.
The book is divided into three parts: belief, action, and impact. In the first part, Stearns discusses the importance of belief and how it is the foundation for all action. He shares how his own belief in God and the Gospel led him to World Vision and how it has sustained him through the challenges of working in the humanitarian field. He also addresses common questions and objections that people may have about faith and encourages readers to explore their own beliefs.
The second part of the book focuses on action. Stearns emphasizes that belief alone is not enough and that it must be accompanied by action. He shares stories of individuals who have taken action to make a difference in the world, including a woman who started a school in Afghanistan and a man who helped to end the genocide in Rwanda. Stearns also provides practical advice on how readers can get involved in making a difference, whether it is through volunteering, donating money, or advocating for change.
The final part of the book is about impact. Stearns argues that even small actions can have a big impact and that individuals can make a difference in the world. He shares stories of how World Vision has impacted the lives of people around the globe, including providing clean water, education, and medical care. He also encourages readers to measure their impact and to continue to strive for making a difference.
One thing that most people may not know about UNfinished: Believing Is Only the Beginning by Richard Stearns is that it was written as a follow-up to his previous book, The Hole in Our Gospel. While The Hole in Our Gospel focused on the need for Christians to engage in social justice issues, UNfinished takes a more personal approach and emphasizes the importance of individual action. Additionally, Stearns wrote UNfinished with the intention of encouraging readers of all backgrounds to make a positive impact in the world, not just those who are Christians or religious. Therefore, the book is relevant to a wide range of readers who are interested in making a difference and taking action towards social change.
Overall, UNfinished is a powerful and inspiring book that challenges readers to believe in something bigger than themselves and to take action to make a difference in the world. Stearns is a gifted storyteller who weaves personal anecdotes with stories of others to create a compelling narrative. The book is also practical and provides concrete steps that readers can take to get involved in making a difference. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to be inspired to make a positive impact in the world.

Knowing Christ Today by Dallas Willard — Willard’s work confronts a critical issue in modern Christian thought: the separation of Jesus’ teachings from what is considered genuine knowledge. He argues that this division has led to a catastrophic misunderstanding of what it means to know Christ and live according to His teachings. The book’s aim is to reestablish the core teachings of Christianity—often referred to as “Mere” Christianity—as a substantial and recognized form of knowledge¹[1].
