Compelled by Love: How to Change the World Through the Simple Power of Love in Action

by Heidi Baker

Book Overview

Compelled by Love, the true story of the ministry of Heidi and Rolland Baker in the war-torn, poverty and disease-stricken country of Mozambique, chronicles twenty-seven years of ministry among the poorest people on earth. The book is based upon the beatitudes as seen through the eyes of third-world pastors and missionaries. The Bakers have experienced God's miraculous provision of food to thousands, brought physical healing and spiritual wholeness to His poorest children, and witnessed the transformed hearts of people caught in desperate life or death situations. Their stories prove the reality of God's kingdom on earth, and demonstrate how to transform this world through the power of love.

Customer Reviews

His pure love

This is one of those books that is life transforming. I read about a chapter a day and thought on it, prayed about it, was convicted, cried, and repented. I was slain by this book. It is the best book on God's love (besides the Word)that I have ever read. I'm sending it out for Christmas gifts. I hope everyone will read this book.

Compelled by Love

Wow - what a fantastic book. I have passed it on to so many people and they have ALL loved it. What an incredible blessing and encouragement it is to all of us. How wonderful to be reminded that Jesus is still doing miracles TODAY

Inspiring

This is the best book yet about Heidi & Roland's work in Mozambique. I keep buying more copies to hand out to those who are hungry to see the Kingdom of God here on earth. You will literally feel an impartation of love as you read this book. Prepare to weep and cry out for more!

A book that will wreck you

Just when you think you're life is hard...read this. Heidi is my hero next to Jesus. She tells all in her book about Love. Love God, Love people. I especially love how she references Mother Theresa so much in this book. You will fall in love with her heart for the lost, broken and poor. It's a easy & short read that will change you forever. You'll be undone.

Christianity at its best

Heidi Baker's book convicted me in a way no other book has ever done. The selfless sacrifice she makes to show the love of Christ to the poorest in the world is remarkable. The stories in her book are like reading the Book of Acts in the Bible. This "little lady in the dirt" will inspire you to love others more, and the world will never again look the same to you. Her books are treasures.
