This book is an exciting story of the marvelous events that happened when Heidi and Roland Baker committed their lives to dependance upon God and sought to love Jesus Christ to the fullest. It also is a window into seeing the intense price paid by these 2 committed members of the Family of God. God's character of healing, provision and liberty from evil spirits is clearly revealed in their persons and work. It challenged me out of my comfortable assumption that I knew about love and propeled me into confrontation with my deep hunger for more intimacy with Jesus Christ and to see God's character demonstrated in my life with signs and wonders. The book is a record from various blogs and diary like entries that testify to the immediacy and transparency of their ongoing ministry of dependance and service. It is compelling in it's testimony to the aunthentic character of life sold out to God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. If you are "stuck" in ineffective Christian life and know that there is "more" - read this book. If you are dissatisfied with your judgements that the Christian life is all fake and hypocritical and wonder how it has survived through the centuries -- read this book. If you dispair in thinking tha

This book, like their others, is about New Testament Christianity that is not "church as usual". Working with some of the poorest people in the world today, they demonstrate repeatedly how God desires to work through believers to supernaturally address the deep needs of hurting and hungry people. Great account! Life changing!

This book won't collect any prizes for great literature, being essentially a journal and a collection of blogs, but the story it tells is amazing. I couldn't be more impressed with Heidi and Rolland Baker. They are just ordinary people who have said, "Yes, God" and laid their lives on the alter, letting God work through them to do His will and bring His kingdom to the poorest (but richest) people on earth. It is both inspiring and convicting, because it reveals what incredible and mind-boggling things the Lord can accomplish through anyone who has died to self and is totally yielded to Him. The Bakers are a living portrait of the love of Jesus in action.

I fully excpect to not just witness God's miraculous Power but to walk in it as well! Read this book and your faith will come up into a new dimension! God can handle whatever your situation is and He will make His Face to shine on you!!! TRUST Him!

Heidi Baker is an amazing picture of the Love of Jesus in action. She disregards the danger, diseases, smells of sickness and burning garbage dumps, to help the poorest of the poor, taking hungry, abandoned children home with her to the loving care of their orphanages at Iris Ministries. This book will show the average plush American how to lay down self and live in Love with the One who loves us most, then being His hands and feet to help the lost, hungry and homeless!
Also good to get are video DVD's on Heidi and Rolland Baker's lives.

Jesus got people's attention in the days of His ministry by manifesting divinity through the miracles he performed, using the power of the Holy Spirit and His Father. Those miracles captured the attention of non-believers and often brought them into a love relationship with Jesus. This scenario plays out on a daily basis in the Mozambique countryside as the Baker's restore the sight to the blind and hearing to the deaf. Many other signs and wonders have followed them. They are bringing entire villages to Jesus as a result. I find that hearing of miracles brings a great boost to my faith. It demonstrates to me that God is working in our lives and that He does reward those who seek him diligently. I suggest you read all three of these books and share vicariously the miraculous move of our Master in Mozambique. There are stories of redemption and restoration that you will never forget. And most importantly, the lesson on how to love is preached very eloquently through the actions of the authors. These people have become my heroes. You may never look at a book or at Christianity the same. Another key factor is seeing that although Heidi Baker is totally sold out to God, she still learns obedience by what she suffers, the same as Jesus. Another key aspect to life that Heidi manifests is that God does not always take the storm out of our lives, but rather teaches us how to dance in the rain.

I have to say all the books by Rolland and Heidi Baker if read with faith in your heart will moved you to say yes L*rd send me!!! And belive that God is still a God of Love that takes care of the least of these!!!! Thank you Hedid and Rolland

A simply beautiful love song of a book to the Lord. God, continue to pour out your blessings on the work of this couple and all their associates in Jesus' name.

Truly a must read for every believer!

This is an outstanding book. This couple are working amongst the poorest
of the poor and God is their all. People are coming to the Lord by the
thousands and churches are springing up everywhere they go.

I recommend this book highly for anyone who wants to see God in action
in the world today, just as He was in the book of Acts in the Bible.

Please keep Heidi & Rolland Baker in your prayers.
