The authors skilfully recount the inspiring stories of several 'ordinary' but remarkable persons who have been called - and who faithfully obeyed thecalling! to make a signifi cant diff erence by being a blessing to many people, transforming communities and erecting hopeful signs of the coming of God s kingdom. What they achieved is indeed remarkable, but they all are quick to testify: it is not us, but rather the hand of God using us as building bricks. The book is well written, captivating and intended for a broad readership. This is indeed a seminal book, making a great contributionto the kingdom of God in South Africa, Africa and further abroad.
