Synopsis

What if we’re just skimming the surface?Christianity holds out the promise of a better way and a better day. So we’ve studied, joined more small groups, and checked all the boxes—yet, we’re still hungry for more. What if the gospel we’ve come to know is even deeper than we ever imagined? What if the same gospel that works in us to change us continues to work through us to change everything else?Speaking from more than twenty years of experience working in the local church, Brandon Hatmaker leads us past the hurdles between our current lives and the lives we crave. He shows us how Jesus changes everything and how a greater understanding of the gospel leads to deeper faith, richer community, and more fulfilling purpose.

Brandon tackles some of our common blind spots about the gospel with his typical style of grace and truth. This is a must-read book! I found myself saying out loud, "YES! That's what I've been trying to say!!" multiple times. A Mile Wide is as challenging and as it is practical, every chapter offers......more
