Small Footprint, Big Handprint

Author Tri Robinson challenges readers in his latest book to live simply so they can make a big impact on the world

BOISE, ID - Living simply for simplicity’s sake only lasts so long before it loses   its luster. But what if we lived simply so we could change the world? In his new book Small Footprint, Big Handprint: How to live simply and love extravagantly (Ampelon Publishing, March 2008), author Tri Robinson   makes not only a passionate call for Christians to change their lifestyle so they change the world, but he also outlines the path to get there.

Many Christians recognize that something is terribly wrong with our world and   want to help change it but feel powerless to do so. The pursuit of the American dream has become a nightmare for many, leaving people in tremendous debt, stressed out and stretched in every direction when it comes to their ability to volunteer their time or give toward something they believe in. People are so busy trying to own stuff that their stuff begins to own them. But Robinson contends that   if Christians really want to make a difference in the world, that mindset must    change. By simplifying our lifestyles, we suddenly have the time, energy and      money to give to the things that really matter in this life.

However, Small Footprint, Big Handprint doesn’t get people all dressed up   with no place to go, unlike some books written on this topic. Robinson says that we didn’t get complicated lives overnight and we’re not going to simplify them overnight either. However, by outlining the areas in people’s lives that need to be addressed in order to see this transformation occur, readers will find a clear pathway to begin    their journey toward simplification for the sake of being able to make a bigger handprint, one that leaves an  indelible mark on this world through being the hands and feet of Jesus.
