From the founders of nonprofits Water.org & WaterEquity Gary White and Matt Damon, the incredible true story of two unlikely allies on a mission to end the global water crisis for goodOn any given morning, you might wake up and shower with water, make your coffee with water, flush your toilet with water—and think nothing of it. But around the world, more than three-quarters of a billion people can’t do any of that—because they have no clean water source near their homes. And 1.7 billion don’t have access to a toilet. This crisis affects a third of the people on the planet. It keeps kids out of school and women out of work. It traps people in extreme poverty. It spreads disease. It’s also solvable. That conviction is what brought together movie actor Matt Damon and water expert and engineer Gary White. They spent years getting the answer wrong, then halfway right, then almost right. Over time, they and their organization, Water.org, have found an approach that works. Working with partners across East Africa, Latin America, South Asia, and Southeast Asia, they’ve helped over 40 million people access water and/or sanitation.In The Worth of Water, Gary and Matt take us along on the journey—telling stories as they uncover insights, try out new ideas, and travel between the communities they serve and the halls of power where decisions get made. With humor and humility, they illuminate the challenges of launching a brand-new model with extremely high stakes: better health and greater prosperity for people allover the world. The Worth of Water invites us to become a part of this effort—to match hope with resources, to empower families and communities, and to end the global water crisis for good. All the authors’ proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to Water.org.

Faith! The author of the Biblical book of Hebrews (chapter 11, verse1) says "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." So, faith can be a little difficult to firmly grasp. But the quality of life depends so much upon having faith in the right objects and persons. Even when we have faith in the right objects and persons, we can still fail to fully develop and correctly apply that faith. Christians place their faith in God. That's easy to say, but what does it really mean. What does a Christian believe about God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the Bible, Humans, Salvation, Security, and Eternity? What beliefs are essential to fully developing and correctly applying the Christian faith? How can I have confidence in my faith? This book addresses those questions and presents clear answers. Gary White spent his earliest years near Archer City, TX. His father was a cowboy on the Canaan Ranch, and his mother was the cook for the Canaan Ranch cowboys. At age 8, his family moved from Archer City to Wichita Falls. His mother's family had a strong Christian heritage. Gary became a Christian and was baptized in a stock tank in Iowa Park, TX when he was 9. Gary obtained a BS in Biology from Baylor University and then moved to Houston where he met and married Barbara Kuhn. He worked for the next 43 years adjusting/auditing/investigating life, health, and disability claims for insurance companies. He has been an active church member throughout his life. In 1997, Gary and Barbara moved from Houston to League City, TX, where they have been attending Clear Creek Community Church and where Gary became addicted to pickleball.
