Blessing Of The Poor - Eldredge, Stasi, et al
An innocent young face in a photograph touches our heart and we commit ourselves to sponsor that child. WE do it out of a desire to help the poor. We don't realise that coming fact-to-face with the poor will bless us too - in ways we can't imagine. Many of those who sponsor children through Compassion have had the opportunity to visit them in the slums and villages of the developing world. Stasi Eldredge, Phil Keaggy, Rebecca St James, Steve Grace, graham Kendrick, Darlene Zschech and many others describe how such visits have changed their lives.

God In South Africa - Nolan, Albert
Albert Nolan believes that in South Africa 'the practice of the struggle is the practice of faith', and to show this he reviews the central themes of the Christian faith as found in the Old Testament and the preaching of Jesus, the nature of sin and salvation, and of God's action in the world. He also faces the dilemma of Christians who can no longer support the apartheid state but are uncertain where the liberation struggle will lead.

Hidden Sorrow Lasting Joy - Companjen, Anneke
What is it like for a Christian woman living where it is illegal to live openly for Christ? How does a wife and mother respond when her husband refuses to give up his work of faith despite the physical and emotional risk to himself and his family? What happens to her when he is arrested, imprisoned or murdered because of what he believes? These are the questions facing real women in today's world. While stories are told and retold about the men who suffer for their faith, these women are the forgotten victims of the persecuted church.
