Make a Difference: Responding to Gods Call to Love the World

by Melvin L. Cheatham, Billy Graham (Foreword), Franklin Graham (Afterword)

Dr. Mel Cheatham, a successful neurosurgeon with a thriving private practice, found himself at the age of fifty feeling empty. He had it all. And yet he knew something was missing-the peace and joy that comes from showing God's love to others. Then one day he heard Franklin Graham speak about the desperate need for doctors in developing countries, and in that message, Mel heard God speaking directly to his heart. He gave up a private neurosurgery practice and devoted himself to full-time medical relief work and evangelism projects in developing and war-torn countries. Mel Cheatham found out what it means to Make a Difference . In Make a Difference , Mel shares the stories of dozens of people who have risked it all to gain what they cannot lose-people who learned to listen to God and respond to His call to love the world. You'll read Through these and many other stories, and through the use of Scripture, Melvin will help you listen to God's still, small voice, calling you to make a difference, to show His love to a world in need.

I so wanted to enjoy this book, but I found Cheatham's tone to be condescending and Islamaphobic. Cheatham and his affiliates do amazing work, but as a Christian I was disappointed in the implied messages of "Make a Difference."
