This book (which should be more widely known) exceeded my expectations! It was convicting, encouraging, and entertaining. Really everything I could’ve hoped for.
The book is about three friends - one from Atlanta and two from different Kenyan tribes - who come together through incredible circumstances to devote their lives to caring for individuals infected with AIDS in Kenya through the Church.

"Through it all, their hearts were bigger than their fear." I love this story of how two men from opposing tribes in Kenya and an undergraduate American college student lives are woven together to bring hope to those living with AIDS. My husband has worked part-time for this non-profit for a couple of years now, and I have witnessed their integrity and compassion first-hand. This book was a good reminder to me as I'm setting goals for next year about how important it is to let God orchestrate my

I enjoyed this book so much! Once again, I am amazed at seeing God at work through His people. How God will mightly use those who listen and obey. How He can bring together strangers from different continents to work together to accomplish His plans. How He uses people of ALL ages to do great things for His people and for His glory.
These men listened to the Lord's calling on their lives and because of their obedience, many people have been helped and great strides have been made in the fight ag ...more

I started and finished this book in the same day. It is well-written and entertaining. Although it is a quick and enjoyable read, it is full of heart, and is incredibly timely.

This book had me laughing and crying throughout. A truly incredible convergence of 3 different stories told in an intriguing way that is just plain inspiring at its core. The story’s of these 3 men and how they made this organization come to be deserve to be shouted from the rooftops because I think it could change lives.
The thing I loved most about this book was how different experiences in these men's lives shaped them for the task God had for them. Their stories are soaked in God's sovereignty and goodness. It also gives me hope to know there are people and ministries out there doing such needed, holistic work.

Beyond Blood is a truly inspiring story of how a few ordinary people came together to serve those with HIV/AIDS. It shows that with prayer, passion, and hard work anything is possible. It is worth the read!
It has been my honor to rub shoulders with these three men in the past few years. Truly remarkable what God has done!
An eye opening story about HIV/Aids in Africa.
