Review:

"This book provides a fascinating account of the history and development of an organization which has much to celebrate in its 50+ years. Moreover, the book will inspire all who read it with the faith, courage and witness that OM has manifested and with which it has blessed countless people over the years in many parts of the world." -- Baroness Caroline Cox, Cross-Bench Member of the House of Lords "This is an inspiring account of one of the most significant Christian movements of recent times. Fortunately the careful scholarship behind this book does not mask the passion that lies behind the daring discipleship and radical zeal for mission that characterizes Operation Mobilization." -- Ajith Fernando, National Director, Youth For Christ, Sri Lanka
