Something Needs to Change: A Call to Make Your Life Count in a World of Urgent Need

USA TODAY,Â PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, AND ECPAÂ BESTSELLER â€¢ TheÂ authorÂ ofÂ RadicalÂ takes readers on aÂ soul-searching journey through impoverished villages in the Himalayan mountains, daring themÂ to make a difference in a world of urgent need, starting right where they live.

â€œGrippingly vulnerable and unforgettable. I could not put this book down.â€â€”Ann Voskamp,Â author ofÂ One Thousand Gifts

While leading a team on a week-long trek of the Himalayas, bestselling author and pastor David Platt was stunned by the human needs he encountered, an experience so dramatic that it "changed the trajectory of my life." Meeting a man who'd lost his eye from a simple infection and seeing the faces of girls stolen from their families and trafficked in the cities, along with other unforgettable encounters, opened his eyes to the people behind the statistics and compelled him to wrestle with his assumptions about faith. In Something Needs to Change, Platt invites readers to come along on both the adventure of the trek, as well as the adventure of seeking answers to tough questions like, "Where is God in the middle of suffering?" "What makes my religion any better than someone else's religion?" and "What do I believe about eternal suffering?" Platt has crafted an irresistible message about what it means to give your life for the gospel--to finally stop talking about faith and truly start living it.

Praise for Something Needs to Change

â€œRugged. Authentic. Gritty. Real. Worshipful. There are no other books like this one. I always pick up Davidâ€™s books with a sense of excitement and, quite honestly, apprehensionâ€”because I know that areas of compromise and complacency in my life are going to be exposed. But this book exceeded even my high expectations, for which I am grateful. And so will you be. As David writes, itâ€™s time to run, not walk. Letâ€™s go.â€â€”J. D. Greear,Â president of the Southern Baptist Convention

â€œExtraordinary and challenging. Iâ€™ve just never read a book like this before. I am so moved. Bring your full heart to this story and watch how God opens your eyes, changes your mind, and broadens the dreams you have for your life.â€â€”Annie F. Downs, best-selling author ofÂ 100 Days to BraveÂ andÂ Remember God

â€œIf you dare to read this book, you might just have an unexpected encounter with Jesus that leaves you weeping on the floor, as Davidâ€™s experience did. Something changes within us when the seemingly overwhelming needs of the world present themselves simply in the life of a single person. Ultimately, I pray your compassion will be transformed to action.â€â€”Santiago â€œJimmyâ€ Mellado, president and CEO of Compassion International
