Synopsis

David Platt takes you on a soul-searching journey through impoverished villages in the Himalayan mountains, and dares you to make a difference in a world of urgent need, starting right where you live.

Life’s hardest questions don’t just demand answers. They require action.

What happens when a well-known pastor and best-selling author has his deepest convictions rocked by darkness in the world around him? Fresh off a trek through some of the highest mountains and remotest villages in the world, David Platt found himself overwhelmed with seismic questions like these:

• If the gospel is true and God really is good, then where is God amid extreme poverty and pain?
• Where is God’s protection for the oppressed and exploited?
• Is hell really a place, and does it actually last forever?
• If so, then why are so many people born into what seems like an earthly hell only to move to an eternal one?
• Is Jesus really the hope of the world?

In this compelling account of that treacherous trek, Platt invites you to eat what he ate, drink what he drank, see the faces he saw, and feel the emotions he felt at every turn. In the end, you will find yourself eye to eye with some of the most difficult questions and challenging needs in the world, and face to face with the God who desires to use your life in greater ways than you ever imagined.

Reading this book is not risk free. It will leave you transformed and determined to take action, starting right where you live.

Because something needs to change!
