The Accidental Christian Brian Humphreys

Publisher Marketing: Jeff Lucas, International Author, Speaker and Broadcaster writes: "Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to go on a real-life adventure? "Brian Humphreys did, and in this honest, day-to-day account of an ordinary chap getting himself entwined in the purposes of an extraordinary God, we get an authentic taste of what adventure is like. Tellingly he writes that, when it comes to the pain of a hurting world, 'most of us look the other way'. He did that himself for quite a while, but then his vision, his priorities and his purpose for Mondays as well as Sundays changed. "And perhaps, so will yours as you read this book." Brian Humphreys (author) writes: "My first visit to Kenya was a blur as I came face to face with the amazing Kenyan race that have a hope, a spirit and dare I say it - a faith - that life will one day get better. My second and subsequent missions made me face up to my own shallow, wasted life. In Kenya, not only did I have to deal with corruption, death and extreme poverty, but also the aftermath of the bloodiest civil war in Kenya's history as I grappled with my own demons, shortcomings and fledgling faith. "At times, God and the Devil fought for possession of my soul. There was a time when I lost patience with God and fired him. My spiritual journey took me to heaven and, at times, it took me to hell. "I went to Kenya to help people worse off than me but they helped me more than they will ever know. I did not change Kenya, but Kenya certainly changed me. I am alive now in ways I never thought possible and my life is a place of joy and freedom." Review Citations: Foreword 02/12/2009 (EAN 9781438913513, Paperback)
