Response-Able: Lessons from My Father About Life...and Making a Difference

by Matthew Hagee, Matthew Hagee

You Can Make a Difference! What if the churches of America could feed every hungry person in their cities? What if we had the resources to educate every child in an environment where respect for God was encouraged? What if we could help create jobs that empowered people and gave everyone the opportunity to give back in the same way that they had received?
 
As a pastor, Matt Hagee recognizes that there are things in our world that need changing, and, like many younger Christians, he wants to be a part of the solution. In addition, Matt has received a rich legacy from his father--pastor and best-selling author John Hagee--that includes experiential wisdom rooted in solid biblical principles.
 
In Response-Able he combines the passion of youth with the wisdom of his father’s experience to provide both the inspiration and the steps for a lasting change in each of five key areas:
 


Your personal life Your finances Society Education Politics  
You can make a difference if you will become personally committed to doing so. No matter who you are, where you come from, or what you are going through, the time has come for a turnaround, and being “response-able” begins with you.

[John · Rating 4 out of 5]

I was a bit uncertain how to rate this, as Matthew Hagee is not someone I had read before, and neither his father, so it is strange to read about him writing about things he learned from his father. Writing was not the best, but as other similar books it was still ok and managed to inspire, where that was the point and met my need for inspiration. I must admit that I was counting chapters to the end at one point, because I was not too invested - but I did appreciate many things here. For instance, the content is religious but closer to politics than is often written in books like this. It was also personal, and emphasizes personal freedom and other values I value as well - so I was positively surprised by the groundedness.
