It turns out, I'd read this book before I got it. The fine print inside reveals "Originally published under the title 'There is Always Enough'." So, don't buy both. Either is fine.

...
Show More
Even the most desperate poverty, the most devastating illness, the most heart-wrenching grief is not beyond God's help. His love and power have no limits-and that's a message readers from all walks of life need to hear. The modern miracles that Rolland and Heidi Baker experience every day in their work with Mozambique's throwaway children, movingly chronicled in Always Enough, will inspire anyone looking for hope in the midst of suffering.
The Bakers, formerly missionaries in Indonesia and Hong Kong, share how their work for the past eight years in Mozambique, one of the poorest nations on earth, has borne spiritual fruit beyond their wildest dreams. Every day presents multiple impossible needs. But in the face of everything Satan can do, as Rolland and Heidi lay down their lives and "minister to the one," there is always enough.
Readers will discover that the simple practice of choosing to step out and trust God every day unleashes his provision for every need.

I loved how these missionaries had every need met while working in Africa.

I have no questions about the Baker's motivations or earnestness. They are a brother and sister of mine in Christ. But this book is filled with bad theology. It's written by confused people, and I'm concerned that they are only confusing others. It's also really badly written.

Love this book written by Rolland Heidi Baker. They give great perspective on what it looks like to live fully surrendered to God, and what it looks like to live a life of desiring more of Him, and less of our human, selfish ambition. I am deeply touched and challenged by this book, and was super blessed by the short last chapter. They talk about the reality of the challenge the face with the life they have chosen, but also about the great glory and joy of surrendering your life to Him.

If you want to hear about the amazing love of God in practical ways, this book is brilliant. I love hearing the background of Heidi and Rollands lives and the miracles God has done through them! Brilliant read!

Always Enough tells the story of Rolland and Heidi Baker's ministry to the nation of Mozambique. From small beginnings with a run-down orphanage, they have started a movement that planted 5,000 churches in ~6 years. Their amazing work is a testimony to the grace and mercy of God and continues to this day. So, what's the book like?
Roughly alternating between Rolland and Heidi, the book begins with descriptions of their early lives and briefly details their work in Hong Kong and London; the main focus, however, is Mozambique. Mainly narrative, the story is interspersed with testimonies, diary entries and encouragement/challenges to the reader.
The content is really, really good, but I felt it wasn't arranged to its full potential. Also, some details, such as where their resources come from, would have been interesting to read. They mention donations, and frequently mention miracles, such as when they fed 100 orphans from one pot of chilli; however, some information on the non-miraculous, "mundane" nitty-gritty of their ministry would have really added to the information.
I get the impression this book is more of a summing up of their ministry in Mozambique (up to the date of writing), encouraging and challenging the reader. I believe they have written other, more narrative books, but this one really gives you the broad idea of God's amazing work in Mozambique through their ministry. If you want to be challenged, amazed, and knocked down by God's love, I highly recommend this book.

This book is about the incredible story of a couple's ministry to the poorest of the poor, "least of these" in Mozambique. This book will grab your heart right from the get go. It's very touching.

One of my favorite books about God's power and His desire to lift the lowly out of the ash heaps.
It's an inspiring book that I've read several times and plan on reading again.
