The much-praised writing team of Adrian
and Bridget Plass looks at the extent of
the AIDS pandemic in Zambia. On visiting
this colorful country they saw the
problem and what is being done about it
from many angles: from preventative
projects with sex-workers to the care of
orphans. The desperation there left them
determined to make westerners see how
ordinary families are affected. The
stories aren't all negative; however,
Adrian and Bridget tell of the World
Vision rehabilitation program for girls
forced into prostitution enabling
training in alternative occupations
including hairdressing and tailoring.
There were no miracles in Zambia--only
the miracle of people allowing God to
use them. God acts through us and the
truth is that if we do nothing, we
withhold His love from them. This is a
heart-warming, inspiring, and sometimes
even humorous account with a serious
message: God won't act to lessen the
HIV/AIDS crisis if we don't.
