Fields of the Fatherless

Rating:
Summary: A "Map" for a Christian Walk
Review: How many times do we encounter lonely sad eyed looks and worn out begging hands without even giving a thought to this? How many times do we put aside stories about starving sick kids with a sigh of hopelessness and put on sympathy? Tom Davis's book can't leave anyone sitting/standing on the same spot he/she was before. Filled with moving life "cut outs", portraits, examples, urging and thought-provoking, the book helps to discover/rediscover simple Biblical truths and Christian life essence that we tend to forget, ignore or just bury under a string of excuses, fears, words and everyday worries. It urges us to open our eyes, stretch out our hands, step out of our fenced in "cosmoses" into the suffering and hurting world - the Fields of the Fatherless. The author doesn't just give us the invitation but provides a "map" on how to walk through those fields, step by step planting new seeds of hope, making a difference and ultimately discovering an indescribable joy and fulfillment that can only come from pleasing the heart of God Himself.

Review: It's obvious that Tom Davis knows the plight of the fatherless. He takes you on a journey to where the "least of these" live and invites you to a place where you will be changed. I read his book in one sitting. In 15 years of Christian life I knew nothing of orphans nor cared to know about their plight. Not only do I now care, but I have asked God to use me...to join Him in the fields of the fatherless. I thank God for Tom's ministry...and for his invitation to finally understand "pure and undefiled religion." (James 1:27) It's the most exciting thing that has happened in my Christian walk!
