Book Review of Loving God Isn't Enough

Loving God Isn't Enough


Dr. John Peters returned from military service in World War II with a vow to God to do something to ehlp the poverty-stricken people of Southeast Asia. He did more than keep his promise. Responding to Christ's mandate to love not only God but also to love your neighbor, he founded World Neighbors. Loving God Isn't Enough tells of the adventures of a grass-roots movement, spanning 37 years, that offers a "hand up, not handout" to the people of the Third World. Dr. Peters show how World Neighbors gives the disenfranchised hope and newfound dignity and responsibility. This is a tale of devotion, hard work, and perserverance of both this "Christian Peace Corps" and foreign nations alike.
