NOTES

Good grief -- Lemonade with a purpose: how to start small wherever you are -- Ordinary is the new radical: because Jesus doesn't leave justice to the professionals -- Despite your fears: believing you are good enough because God is good -- You've got the goods: the incredible truth that you are already equipped -- People, not projects: the power of relationships in doing good -- Good and plenty: everybody has something to give -- All great things start small: how to stage a movement -- Better together: how to find a good organization and partner together -- As good as it gets

What if you could become a powerful force for good in the world without moving overseas, burdening your overwhelmed family, or giving up the comforts of modern life? Chris Marlow, founder of the global advocacy organization Help One Now, once felt paralyzed in the face of global problems. They seemed too numerous, too complicated, too big--and after all, how much can one person really do? But a wake-up call in Zimbabwe and a closer study of Scripture soon showed Chris that maybe Christians are overcomplicating how to do act justly in a broken world. Maybe all God is calling us to do is set up a lemonade stand for a good cause
