Book Reviews of TOUCH: Pressing Against the Wounds of a Broken World
Book Review: TOUCH is REAL
Summary: 5 Stars
The opening lines of the book "...never trust preachers and church folks" stop you head on and make you think about where you stand. Are you the untrusted preacher or church person, the critical unchurched, or the hopeless unsaved. Once you turn the pages, you will know where you stand, but also hear the story of a man that Christ transformed through love. TOUCH is an outstanding book that will offer you the opportunity to be transformed by Christ love so that you can TOUCH the world.
Definitely a book for the unchurched, unsaved, and churchdom. This book shows you a life and ministry of a man that critiqued the institution of churchdom. It shows the transformation process when Christ entered his life. It shows you grace with skin on, but most importantly this book shows God's unconditional love for us, and how to show others God's unconditional love. For the unchurched, you get the opportunity to have hope again, believe again, and love again. For the unsaved, you get to see authenticity and experience love probably like you have never experienced it before. For the churched, you will be re-exposed to the very reason why you decided to follow Christ, HIS unconditional love and acceptance of you.
This book revitalized my purpose as an advocate for the poor, motivator of the broken hearted, and liberator of those in bondage and captivity.
TOUCH is real. Enjoy and touch the world.

Summary of TOUCH: Pressing Against the Wounds of a Broken World
Before God touched his heart and transformed his life, Rudy Rasmus was a businessman running a "borderline bordello" in Houston. But thousands now know him simply as "Pastor Rudy"-with a downtown ministry at St. John's Church that he and his wife Juanita started to reach out to those who Jesus called "the least of these." TOUCH is the amazing story of Rudy's life and ministry of grace that is changing lives daily. The church has become one of the most culturally diverse congregations in the country with people from every social and economic background, including the homeless, sharing the same pew. Pastor Rudy's message to touch the lives of those in our own communities has a lesson for us all. Pastor Rudy is also a featured contributor to O, The Oprah Magazine-answering questions on ethics and marking one of the few times O has asked a Pastor to serve in this manner.Christian Living Books
