Trade ReviewI’ve admired Hope into Action for some time not least because it has a holistic depth to it. This book both highlights the needs in our country and inspires us to realise we can actually do something. My hope is, this important writing will challenge and encourage people and churches right across the country. * Rt Revd Rowan Williams, Baron Williams of Oystermouth, former Archbishop of Canterbury *
Ed Walker’s personal story is exciting and challenging in equal measure. The charity he leads, Hope into Action, is creatively pioneering a significant Christian response to the urgent housing needs of our nation. I recommend this book wholeheartedly. * Mandy Marshall: Co-Founder and Director of Restored Relationships *
A powerful and inspiring story of the gospel at work in today’s world. There is so much here to encourage us all about the power of the Church and the potential for transformation in the lives of those most in need in our society. * Paul Harcourt, National Leader, New Wine England *
I highly recommend this book. It links the local church with the homeless community and with some of the most broken. This book will build faith, encourage perseverance and could even be a transforming tool to encourage more people to fulfil the good works which God has called them to do. * Roy Crowne, Executive Director, Hope Together *
Inspiring, encouraging, and saturated with deep wisdom. * Steve Clifford, former General Director, Evangelical Alliance *
This book will challenge any reader in the very core of their being. * Elaine Storkey *
Ed Walker’s attractively written story tells how Christian commitment and determination can be gloriously effective in meeting human needs. I have for many years been a great admirer of Hope into Action. Long may this excellent charity grow and flourish. * Jonathan Aitken, former cabinet minister, ex-offender and now prison chaplain *
