I really enjoyed reading about what God has done/is doing through the Baker's ministry; a lot of the testimonials were excellent.
I was not so much a fan of some of the written style: Often it seemed they were trying to get across the major difficulties faced by the nation on a large scale, but generally in a way completely lacking in style. Undoubtedly, the attempt was to show these trails on the large, national, scale - yet I often felt like I was merely reading lists of statistics rather than seeing the graphic depiction (I think they were going for), which would have more readily drawn the reader in to the reality of the situation. They did subsidize the statistics with more personal testimonials (as I mentioned above), which were really what kept the book going most of the time.
The other aspect of the written style I was not a fan of was that I often felt like the author (mainly Heidi (she and Rolland wrote chapters off and on)) was often too 'preachy.' I get that the point is to motivate the reader into action, but most people reading a book like this are already people who want to be in the action, besides, most of the content of testimonials is fairly challenging to the average Christian reader as it is.

AMAZING. i wrote a 10 page paper off this book for school. Heidi's heart of love so radiates in this book!

An interesting, and inspiring, testimony of the Bakers' years serving the Lord in Mozambique. However, as much as I would love to see such revival and works of the Lord happen in America, unfortunately we are not nearly as needy as those in Mozambique. I am not sure American believers WANT to be in such dire straits so as to see such miracles as the Baker's describe in this book.

The poor of Mozambique have seen the richness of Jesus. Heidi and Rolland Baker are an amazing missionary couple that believe with all their hearts that Jesus is always enough. They live out the sufficiency of Christ in a radical faith and away from the physical bounty of the first world. I have a deep respect that they are not victims of impoverished spirits. They are abundantly joyful where they are stripped of everything to rely on, except Christ.

This woman is truly my heroe

May we all live a life like this

So good. A must read.

one of my spiritual heroes.

Love this book. It shows the miraculous provision of GOD. Yes, I do believe miracles still happen today. One quote that is really speaking to me, "But more deeply, in order for you to be useful to the Master here-or anywhere-you must be close to Him and in love with Him. To the degree that you are intimate with Him, you will know what to do, what you must do." I know this to be true and am striving for a more intimate relationship daily. Also, they stress that there is no formula or mission strategy. They give the people they meet the living Jesus, by loving them. "We came to love the poorest of the poor into the Kingdom, not promise them a cheap road to health and wealth." "He calls me to love every single person I see every single day."

This book is legitimately CRAZY. If you believe in God, read this book and see - through stories from halfway around the world - what amazing things He is willing to do when people are completely dependent on Him.

How amazing would it be to experience these awesome miracles?! Made me want to head to Africa.

This book is for anyone who considers themselves a believer in the Lord, Jesus Christ. What an awesome and beautifully written account of missionaries desiring to simply give the Gospel to a lost and dying world. May this book reignite your fire for the lost. Your desire to know Jesus and Him crucified. May you grow in your intimate knowledge of our savior.

I thank God that my sister thought to gift this book to our entire friend group!
It's absolutely amazing and necessary for today!
