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

Something Needs To Change

New York Times best-selling author David Platt takes readers on a heart wrenching, soul-searching journey through impoverished villages in the Himalayan mountains, and with riveting passion and surprising vulnerability, dares readers to make a difference in a world of urgent need, starting right where they live.

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.
