Product Description
Synopsis
"The boy was lying on a mat in the hut. He had probably less than a day to live. I finally broke the silence. 'God, from this day on I will help every child in need, every child that needs a home, every child that crosses my path'" Heather's santuary in South Africa, known as "Gods Golden Acre", is the outcome of that promise

3.0 out of 5 stars Phenomennal woman, 26 Jun 2005
By Anna (London, England) - See all my reviews
So much hype has preceeded this publication in Christian circles. Having read the biography, I have been trully moved by the active compassion of the lady in question, Heather Reynolds. A true visionary, her holistic ministry to AIDS orphans and her tenacity in esatablishing God's Golden Acre against seemingly insurmountable odds of prejudice from many quarters is a testament to her great faith, courage and love.

The book is well structured, with moving and poignant testimonies from a variety of sources, yet the story, in its telling, leaves something to be desired. While due attention is given to the life journey and motivations of Mrs Reynolds, the stories of countless AIDS orphans and impoverished rural Africans are paraded through the text, little attention being paid to their personalities or psychology. The book therefore reads at times, as a piece of underdeveloped fiction.

There is, furthermore, a certain voyeurism of depiction, detracting from the key message of the text, which calls cpmpassionate people everywhere to action on behalf of these forgotten children.

Nevertheless, God's Golden Acre stands as the biography of a phenomenal woman, clearly annointed by the hand of God and blessed with his favor and grace. May it serve a god given purpose in raising awareness of the unspeakable suffering endured by countless children, the world over, and in the words of a missionary nurse who has served at the orphanage, the reality that, "One person really can make a difference, step by step, one child at a time, and if this is what one person can do, imagine what is possible if we all get in on it."
