How Jesus Changes the World: Good News for Our Time
What if the Gospel is far bigger—and more transformative—than we’ve imagined?
In How Jesus Changes the Good News for Our Time, Gary C. Fairchild takes readers on a sweeping journey through Scripture, history, and lived experience to reveal the Kingdom of God as more than a distant hope. From the Sermon on the Mount to the Gospel of John’s vision for eternal life, Fairchild shows how Jesus restores what humanity lost in dominion, dignity, and peace.
Drawing from years of ministry, global mission work, and personal stories, Fairchild makes the Gospel both practical and urgent. He explores how Jesus’ message speaks directly to our struggles with injustice, poverty, betrayal, and broken relationships—while offering a vision of communities renewed by compassion, fairness, and forgiveness.
At once biblical, historical, and deeply personal, this book invites readers to see the Gospel as good news not only for individuals but for families, neighborhoods, and nations. It is a call to live into the Kingdom that is already breaking into our world—one that restores harmony with God, with one another, and with creation itself.
This is not just a book about Jesus. It is a book about how Jesus changes everything—and how His Kingdom is still changing the world today.

How Jesus Changes the World reminded me why the gospel is truly “good news” for every age — including ours. The author doesn’t just retell familiar Bible stories; he connects them to the moral confusion, anxiety, and loss of purpose that define so much of modern life. Page by page, he shows how Jesus’ teachings on truth, mercy, and human dignity have shaped our entire civilization — and how they still have the power to renew it.
What I appreciated most is that the book avoids both nostalgia and cynicism. It’s realistic about the brokenness in today’s culture, yet filled with hope that the way of Christ can still transform hearts and communities. The writing is clear, warm, and devotional, but also intellectually grounded. It would make a great choice for small-group discussion or personal reflection.
