Review

Written by Harold

With powerful true stories, illustrations from the life of Christ, and specific activities for readers to engage, DO Something! is a hopeful and practical book that shows how to live out faith in a way that improves people's lives. With transparency and humility, Miles McPherson stresses the importance of hurting with people before you can do something for them. He takes readers through the 5 P's of making their lives count--preparation, purpose, pain, power, and passion--principles upon which his successful and growing church was founded. By putting into practice the principles found in this book, readers will experience spiritual fulfillment as they see that they can make a real difference in the lives of those around them. Now in trade paper.

From the Inside Flap

The Time to Act Is Now

The world needs you. It's broken. Your neighbors are in desperate need of a helping hand. If you're not content to cruise through life, it's up to you to DO Something!

Transparent and insightful, Miles McPherson tells it like it is as he shares from his own experience as an ambitious professional football player turned pastor who had to learn things the hard way. With powerful true stories of everyday people making a difference and illustrations from the life of Christ, Miles takes you through the 5 P's of making your life count: preparation, purpose, pain, power, and passion. Then he offers practical suggestions for living out your faith in a way that impacts the lives of others.|Miles McPherson is always doing something. He was the first student from the University of New Haven to be named All-American and be drafted into the NFL. Two years later, after battling a cocaine problem, he stopped using in one day. After the NFL, McPherson founded Miles Ahead Ministries, through which more than 45,000 young people have given their lives to Christ. When he started the Rock Church in San Diego in 2000, more than 3,000 people attended on its first day. The predominantly young, urban congregation has grown to an average of 12,000 with more than 60 volunteer-led community ministries. McPherson has appeared on Larry King Live, Good Morning America, The O'Reilly Factor, and Fox & Friends. He and his wife have three children and live in San Diego, California.
