Making a Real Difference: Christian movers and shakers

by George Bryant

Christians have made a positive difference to our nation since its foundation. Motivated by faith, they have put a human face on the principle of ‘loving your neighbour’.

This book outlines the profiles of a few of the thousands of Christians who are moving and shaking New Zealand today, including a judge, a leading scientist, a social worker, a journalist, a city councillor, a doctor, an educationist, a racing driver, a businessman, a youth worker, a prison reformer, a city missioner, and a navy commander.

Read about how and why they are making a real difference among the poor, with at-risk youth, in housing, the media, education, health, parenting, business... and across the community. As a country we are much the richer because of them.

This book has profiles of over a dozen individuals and couples who 'make a real difference' for the community in New Zealand. All of them have faith in some way. It could be education, caring for the poor, rehabiliting those in prison, through fostering, providing jobs. There's about 3-6 pages on each. I knew of some of them but many do their work without recognition. Many of them have setbacks but they endure and keep on with their vision for a better, more just society, where kindness and compassion prevail. A book to inspire and stir up good works!
