Hello. I’m not actually looking to be published on your blog, but I am hoping to get some more information about some of the specific anecdotes in “Hope Lives.” The book is incredibly moving and effective, and I would like to glean some of the stories for my own organization, which is attempting to create its own program to motivate Christians to give more.
I’m wondering how I might contact you with some questions to get some more specific details about some of the anecdotes you share. We would, of course, give you credit and seek your permission for any stories we would relate. If you prefer, I can send you the questions via the blog, or I can e-mail you if you would prefer that medium.

After reading this post, I immediately ordered the book. I received it yesterday and DEVOURED the first chapter. I fought with myself not to read on, but to think and pray about the first chapter.

This book is a gift to me and to the world. My heart is burning trying to find ways to serve. I am called to action!

Beautiful book!

Hi Amber,
I have read your book and just loved it. I wish it was available when I took my first missions trip in 2007. I am reading it again and words can’t even begin to express how much it has helped me to learn and grow. Keep up the good work!!

Whenever I stop to think about how illogical it seems to me, that God would have called me into this ministry, I remember a sermon title from way back in my own childhood. It came out of the story of God’s call to Moses, out in the desert. The title was “Any old bush will do.”

Oh, how I love and agree with this post! We can all be used if we’re willing!!! (And sometimes God will use us whether we’re willing or not!)

I am not what one would call an avid book-reader, unless ‘that book’ is the Bible. In fact, as it pertains to a Christian’s faith-walk, there have only been two books I have ever recommended:

1) Revolution in World Missions

2) The Road to Reality

Both written by Gospel for Asia’s, K P Yohannan. I only mention that because I now add your blessed book, “Hope Lives” to my “Need-To-Recommend” list–it is that good!

I so admire and appreciate your book, and believe God’s own hand is visble within it’s pages, that I desire to put copies into the hands of the first 100 people who sponsor a Compassion Child.

So to the first 100 people who sponsor a COMPASSION child, drop me a note (gnuheart@aol.com) with your ‘new’ child information and I will send you “Hope Lives” for free.

Sponsor a child = “Hope Lives”
