In an increasingly divided society, New York Times bestselling author Charles Martin is challenging Christians to demonstrate Christ-like forgiveness an act he believes has the power to “turn the world upside-down,” just like the first century believers.
“What if we just forgave everybody, for everything, for all time, the same way Jesus forgives us?’” he said in an interview with The Christian Post. “What if we forgave people who didn t deserve it? What if we forgive people who are currently sinning against us? What if we forgave, and then walked out in the sacrificial love of Jesus? If we did that, I believe the world would look really different.”

In 2020, as we spent countless hours at home learning new terms like sheltering in place and social distancing , we found ourselves turning to great books again and again. Reading provided a distraction, an opportunity to learn, and the chance to travel the world right from our couches.
Every month, the Opportunity Book Club reads a book that opens our eyes to more of the world. We choose books written by underrepresented authors; books that share stories from the countries in which we work; and books that teach us about important issues like poverty, famine, and development.
Claire Wasserman, founder of the Ladies Get Paid career-development community and author of a forthcoming book, says this book is a good way to reflect on the shifts in social and work culture that have contributed to the burnout epidemic.
Stemming from Petersen s viral BuzzFeed article in 2019, Can t Even examines how millennials reached the current state of burnout due to forces including capitalism and changing labor laws, and how burnout impacts various aspects of living, including how people work, parent and socialize.
Wasserman adds these are crucial themes to consider during the pandemic and beyond.
