About the book
Easily read in a day but valuable for a lifetime, Your Unfinished Business: Find God in Your Circumstances – Serve Others in Theirs teaches you how to find your calling and build the capacity it takes to become an effective and resilient servant.
Leroy Hurt discovered the secret in his mother’s example. Widowed in the Philippines during World War Two when invading forces executed her first husband, she later left a successful dental practice to raise a child with Down Syndrome and then cared for her second husband through ten years of debilitating and terminal illness. She had unfinished business because a servant’s work is never done.
You can learn the same principles and practices to find your calling and build resilience. You’ll discover your unfinished business, see from God’s perspective, and become God’s blessing to others.

Leroy’s book was like a laser for me, as it helped to chip away worldly distractions, excuses and rationalizations that we so easily put in our own path — chapter after chapter — until all that was left was a clear directive of what was meant to be done.
The truth. We had been involved in humanitarian aid and relief work in Burma since 2005. It was meaningful, but we/(really I) was dabbling in something that needed to be much bigger and better focused to make a real difference. I believe that God brought this opportunity to me and our family in a unique way … still believe that if we follow His lead, we can be part of something he is doing in Burma, far beyond what we initially imagined. After reading Your Unfinished Business, I personally felt compelled to put off the distractions, excuses and rationalizations and take the first step, in faith and without all the answers we’d like to have; to be part of God’s plan for Burma and it’s suffering ethnic and other people, instead of following my own plan and having to “work it out” myself.
We started a public non-profit charity, in August 2008, The Jericho Alliance and are now supporting a medical clinic that serves 10,000 displaced people, who live in 14 villages in the war zones of Burma. Step 1 is underway and I look forward to seeing what else is in store for us and others who join us, as we seek to finish the business that God wants us to do — because with His help, we know that we can.
Thank you, Leroy! Great book, that singularly impacted this cause in a hugely positive way.
