The Best Idea in the World: How Putting Relationships First Transforms Everything

by Mark Greene

One idea can change everything. Just as one new lens can make the whole world look different. In this compelling and liberating book, Mark Greene explores the dynamic difference that a fresh look at Jesus' familiar instruction can make to almost any decision we make---in any area of life ---from buying a microwave to choosing a job, from church to chat-rooms, from parenting to politics, from where we put the TV to where we live. Full of humour, insight, down-to-earth stories and up-to-date research, Mark explores how putting relationships first in our thinking and living is not only a liberating basis for our personal lives but a robust and dynamic foundation for our society and our global community.

[Theresa Powers · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a really good book about the two greatest commandments from Jesus, our greatest teacher. In all of our decisions,we can think about what this book says."The Christian, every Christian, is called to be yeast, leaven, an agent of transformation in God's mission of transforming and reconciling and restoring the whole univere. This is the great adventure God calls people to be part of, and the result is that the every day is tinged with the eternal, the routine with fragrance of forever, the chore with possibility of being a conduit of love and a channel of his eternal grace."
