4.5 stars. Some of the information was repeated from chapter to chapter - almost as if each chapter was originally meant to stand alone. But this barely detracts from the amazing stories of these faithful Ethiopian evangelists. I highly recommend. I think the story of Fanta was my favorite. A beautiful picture of the sovereignty of God.

Fantastic accounts of God at work in and through people whose faith would not be extinguished. I was so encouraged and challenged by these true stories that I bought the book for others, so that they too could read what God has done in Ethiopia. Thank you Dick McLellan for compiling and sharing these stories. May God continue His work in this battered nation.

I really liked the way this book was structured, telling the story of God’s work in and through the lives of many Ethiopian evangelists. Each chapter focuses on a different evangelist but all together the book tells the story of the gospel going out across a region of Ethiopia!

[Peter Lee]

Good read, true guide to being God's servant and messenger.

[Rohan]

Challenge to give your all, sacrifice is expected.

My favourite story was the man who mediated between robbers and his family, then said how Jesus was the great mediator.

[Josiah]

Powerful stories that inspire faith and action. God is unmistakably at work in these stories

[Eric Wright]

The incredible story of how God has been building the church in remote Ethiopia. Story after story thrills us with the transforming power of the gospel in the face of hostile forces. A wonderful and inspiring book. My only quibble was the repitition that one found in the writing style which reduced my 5 stars to four

[Kate]

Amazing stories of faith and courage. I didn’t know any of the history of Ethiopia or the tribes dwelling there, this book really opened my eyes to the terrible hardships they have faced, from religious opponents, satanic opponents to communism. God has gracious worked through these faithful men and women to bring the gospel to the unreached. A brilliant book

[Paul]

A wonderful book.
