NFL player turned mega-church and ministry pastor Miles McPherson has written a new book "Do Something: Make Your Life Count," released in January from Baker Publisihing, along with group study materials from Outreach. With a church full of members that have started more than 100 different ministries, with more than 700,000 hours of community service committed for 2010, McPherson is uniquely qualified to lead the “Do Something” charge.

“Do Something” is filled with examples of individuals who learned they could use their own experiences – sometimes painful and heartbreaking – to help others in similar situations. They have found preparation and purpose in their own brokenness and through that, power and passion for helping others has been released. The church-wide study is designed to help entire congregations become "Do Something" churches, following the example of McPherson's church, the Rock, in San Diego.

Following his NFL career, McPherson founded Miles Ahead Ministries, through which more than 45,000 young people have made decisions for Christ. When he started the Rock Church in 2000, more than 3,300 people attended on its first day. The predominantly young, urban congregation has grown to an average of 12,000 with more than 100 ministries, at least 74 of them volunteer-led community ministries. McPherson has appeared on Larry King Live, Good Morning America, The O'Reilly Factor, and Fox & Friends. He and his wife have three children and live in San Diego.
