From the Back Cover

What does it look like to trust God with EVERYTHING?

In Compelled by Love, Heidi Baker gives you a glimpse of total dependence and authentic Christian community by taking a fresh look at the Beatitudes.

In the war-torn, poverty-stricken country of Mozambique, she and her husband have experienced God's miraculous provisions and witnessed the transformed hearts of people caught in desperate life-or-death situations. Join them and discover the reality of God's kingdom here on Earth.

-For anyone wondering if they could truly live a life of radical love...
-For anyone wondering if the Beatitudes mean anything...
-For anyone wondering how to follow Jesus all the way...

"If God is not with us, we do not want to continue. If the Sermon on the Mount is simply impractical, our mission work is hopeless. We have no backup plan. We have nothing but Him."
--Heidi Baker

5.0 out of 5 stars His pure love, November 14, 2008

By	Cheryl Wilkins (Asia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is one of those books that is life transforming. I read about a chapter a day and thought on it, prayed about it, was convicted, cried, and repented. I was slain by this book. It is the best book on God's love (besides the Word)that I have ever read. I'm sending it out for Christmas gifts. I hope everyone will read this book.
