"A gutsy and gritty expose on the motives of a generation in love
with the idea of saving the world, Overrated is a necessary
exercise for all who desire to truly be a part of the change God
wants to bring to humanity. I love justice, and I seek compassion
for all, but as Pastor Cho so vividly unfolds, I first must allow
the transforming power of the gospel to invade my heart. This book
is real, personal, necessary, and a must-read, so we can all
continue on the path toward justice for all."--Louie Giglio

"At this moment in church history, the pursuit of God's justice has
been restored to its rightful place of importance as a critical
task of the church. However, this resurgence may have a price in
the engagement of ministries of mercy as self-aggrandizing acts. In
Overrated, Eugene Cho offers an honest and necessary
confession on behalf of the church. Through powerful and
enlightening stories, Eugene Cho offers a timely reminder of the
cost of discipleship in the pursuit of God's work of
justice."--Soong-Chan Rah (09/16/2014)
"I encourage all believers to read Overrated. It lays a
course for how we much proceed as humble but faithful justice
leaders in an unjust world."--Dr. John M. Perkins (08/21/2014)
"I intended to scan Overrated and write a quick endorsement
because I like Eugene. But I couldn't help myself. I read every
word and pondered what I read. Eugene's questions became mine: I
love justice, but do I actually live justly? Amy I committed and
disciplined enough to become an expert about causes and issues I
care about? Is my activism smart? Is it grounded in prayerfulness?
Do I incarnate the gospel in such a way that I compel people toward
Christ? Overrated challenged and chastised me, inspired and
energized me. I highly recommend it."--Lynn Hybels (09/16/2014)
