Beyond Dedication
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
The narrative of this book is compelling. I can see the intent of it is the glorification of God in heaven Who never fails to see and feel the sufferings of people here on earth. Several times, I had to make myself continue reading because the suffering in Mozambique was so terrible...I reminded myself that this is a story of the Lord's faithfulness, not His perceived inadequacies. I was not disappointed. Time after time, God showed Himself strong on behalf of those who were crying out to Him for mercy and grace. It is a glorious story of victory!
A must read for those with a heart for the broken and a passion for Jesus

I read this book right before I went to Heidi and Roland's center in Maputo last October. My heart was broken for the lost and forgotten and I was encouraged to read of the faithfulness of God. Once I was in Mozambique and saw all the transformed lives, it was easy to believe the things I read in this book happening there. The experience was life-changing. All the walls and pretenses come down and you are stripped bare. It makes a perfect enviroment for God to step in. Whether you plan to make a trip to Africa one day or not or to go on a missions trip at all for that matter, this book will expand your vision and break Jesus out of the box for you. The childlike faith and laid down life of Heidi Baker is a constant inspiration to me to humble myself and just trust in our beautiful Lord. He will do amazing things. Heidi just started helping the one in front of her and look at the impact. For all the many books I've read with plans and strategies on changing the world, her message is the only one that I know I can follow. Stop for the one.
Yep, God is real!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
I've read dozens of books by missionaries, and this book stands out as the best I've ever read! The first hand evidence is solid, describing miracles and the Holy Spirit and saving starving orphans and God's love for people, and followers of Jesus actually experiencing his promise "my followers will do greater things than I have been doing." Jesus said the way to life is narrow and few find it. Well, if you want to find it, this book shows you that God is real, everything Jesus said is true, knowing God is way better than most christians ever realize, and this all totally rocks!
