The question I am most frequently asked after people read my book is, “What do I do now?” God has used the book to convict people at all stages of life to live differently. Here’s what people are telling me:
“I am an executive at IBM. I started as a computer programmer and am now [an] Industry Leader… I know that God is preparing [my husband and me] for a change in direction or focus.”
“I am a young graduate (21) and just got a degree in communication… I am still struggling to learn the gospel and what it means to live it out in my life.”
“I don’t think I will be the same after reading it. It brought me to tears more than once…but more importantly my hope is that I will rise in faith to obey Jesus in a deeper way.”
I’m excited to share with you that some talented folks at Cross Section (www.crosssection.com) who also were moved by reading my book have created some challenging materials to help readers discern, “What now?” It launched this week at www.thegospelquest.com.
The Gospel Quest is not your typical small-group study series. In fact, the six DVD sessions are closer to fast-paced documentary “shorts” with hard-hitting information, scriptural alignment, real stories, and a daily journal that will inspire you to go deeper. You can use it in your church, with your small group, or individually.
But you’ll have to want to take this journey. The Gospel Quest won’t let you off the hook with just thinking about living differently. It is specifically designed to motivate you to action. If you take up this challenge, I hope it will give you clarity and energy for the road ahead.
Check it out and be sure to let me know what happens as a result.

Mr. Sterns, I read your book “The Hole in Our Gospel”. When I know a child dies in 3 seconds, I keep telling myself that I am not doing enough, I am not doing enough…I prayed to God what I can do. I still remember on the same night, I suddenly felt very tired. I went to sleep and Gon answered my prayer. I dreamt you from whole night taught me what is poverty and how to help them.
The next morning, I decided to setup my own charity to help them. I am currently sponsoring a child from World Vision as well.
I really thanks for your book. It does open my eyes and my heart.
Thanks, Mr Sterns.
Mr. Stearns. I read through the materials and watched the video segment on the site you listed. The resources are truly amazing and I am planning on starting my own group along with encouraging my Pastor to consider doing a church wide study.
Blessings,
