This powerful little book is definately a must read. Michael Barrick journeyed to Haiti on a mission to discover what it really meant to be "a bond-slave for Christ", and in 7 short days, found out that and so much more. He tells of the places he went, and how life really is in Haiti for Christians and non-Christians alike. He talks of how the churches in Haiti are very much like the 1st Century churches of the book of Acts. He meets many interesting people, from missionaries to pastors to kids being helped by various ministries in the country. That is also why I say it is a must read for child sponsors, as we see first hand how sponsorship of these children changes their lives in ways we cannot imagine.

I wish I could adequately put into words how good this book really is, but my advice is buy this book and read it for yourself. Its short and sweet, but powerful nonetheless. It is money and time well spent.

If you are interested in child sponsorship of children in Haiti, I would recommend His Hands For Haiti, where 100% of the cost goes directly to the children. You can check out the many children still waiting for sponsors at [...]

This is a well-written journal chronicling the emotions one might experience on a short term mission trip to Haiti or other 3rd world country. It is a powerful glimpse into the lives of heroic Haitian Christians perservering in this desperate corner of the world.It would be helpful reading for one embarking on a similar mission trip. It will likely help make sense of the myriad of emotions, spiritual revelations and experiences one will surely encounter.

The author writes about his journey in the land of Haiti. It's a captivating story, written in a clear manner. Although I don't agree with all his findings (some conclusions made based on a one-week visit), he portrays the best he could this --what used to be-- a beautiful country and gives us a good insight about its fun-loving, brave and Christian people.

I received this book perfectly on time. Great condition and great service. Thank you.
