"Preach the Gospel always.� Use words if necessary." - St. Francis of Assisi

It's 1998 and Richard Stearns' heart is breaking as he sits in a mud hut and listens to the story of an orphaned child in Rakai, Uganda.� His journey to this place took more than a long flight from the United States to Africa.� It took answering God's call on his life, a call that hurtled him out of his presidential corner office at Lenox-America's finest tableware company-to this humble corner of Uganda.�

This is a story of how a corporate CEO faced his own struggle to obey God whatever the cost, and his passionate call for Christians to change the world by actively living out their faith.� Using his own journey as an example, Stearns explores the hole that exists in our understanding of the Gospel.�

Two thousand years ago, twelve people changed the world.� Stearns believes it can happen again.
