The Sound of Worlds Colliding: Stories Of Radical Discipleship From Servants To Asia's Urban Poor - Softcover
In the late 1970s God spoke to a young man called Viv Grigg, living in the sprawling metropolis of Manila. Although almost crushed by the poverty and sense of abandonment he saw all around him, a dream was born: of ordinary Christians who would rise up and take God's love to the poorest in the slums and ghettoes of Asia and beyond.

Review:
This book... is a call to join the groaning of creation, and to trust in the triumph of the resurrection. It is a reminder that in the end, love does indeed win - but first love suffers with those who suffer. --SHANE CLAIBORNE Author of The Irresistible Revolution
"You say you care about the poor. Then tell me, what are their names?" asked Gustavo Gutierrez. This book introduces us to the poor, their stories as well as their names. I felt a collision with my own world as I read these gripping accounts of life in the raw." --PHILIP YANCEY Best selling author of The Jesus I Never Knew
In these pages Jesus and his servants speak and what they have to say will feed your spirit. Here the world s marginalized, and those who live and work amongst them, step up to the podium and tell their stories. But instead of feeling despair at their suffering and violence, one is inspired by hope and transformation. This book is less like chicken soup for the soul, and more like a rich gourmet fare." --SCOTT BESSENECKER Director of Global Projects, IVCF
