"As the West has been turning away from the word as its anchor, many foresee the future to be very dim. Through this book, Jeff Fountain (director of YWAM Europe), gives hope, not only to Europe, but the whole Western world." --Loren Cunningham, founder Youth With A Mission.

The story of Jesus has been the single greatest influence in shaping Europe's past. Why should it not also be the single greatest influence in shaping Europe's future? This book is about our role in shaping Europe's future... together!

"I believe this book is desperately needed in Europe." --George Verwer, founder Operation Mobilisation. Part One sketches the challenging situation of Europe at the start of this new millennium. Part Two responds to the question: how can we recover faith, hope and vision for the future? "From an empowered evangelical perspective, no book better outlines the historical, cultural and spiritual mosaic of 21st century Europe. It is too easy to write the continent off as a burned-out conglomerate of people and geography. Jeff Fountain has been honest to confront the disturbing and painful realities of a Europe that God loves. But it is coupled with a powerful sense of and call to hope. No book says it better--I cannot recommend it more." (William D. Taylor, executive director WEA Mission Commission). Jeff Fountain, a native of New Zealand, has lived in the Netherlands since 1975.
