In this book, Dave Andrews describes the radical alternative to a me-first life-style in which the strong get power and the weak go to the wall. It is a life-style he and his wife Ange have adopted, that puts into practice God's heartbeat of love for the forgotten, broken people in the community.<br> The fruit of Dave and Ange's life is evident - ministries established, people helped, communities formed, friendships forged, the church expanded and workers trained to attempt similar things.<br> Dave persistently refuses to accept the intolerable, and continues to dream that the impossible is possible. That is why you should read this book. It may well set you aflame.- Dr Charles Ringma, Asian Theological Seminary.--Back cover. <br><br> <a href=""http://bit.ly/2aNJCzF"">DaveAndrews.com.au about Dave Andrews</a>.
