Nevertheless

Fülszöveg

In 1996 John and Lizzie Kirkby felt God call them to help the poor and needy in their home town of Bradford. John gave up a successful career in the finance industry and started 'Christians Against Poverty' (CAP), from their spare room with a donation of just ten pounds in his pocket. Their faith adventure led them to many who were crippled by financial problems. Parents who couldn't afford to feed their children, families facing eviction from their homes and others who were without hope. John used his financial knowledge to devise simple budgeting systems and help those trapped in the misery of debt find a way out.
Today CAP is an international charity which runs a growing network of centres in partnership with local churches. The charity is changing lives in the UK, Australia and New Zealand; and has plans to expand into other nations. Hundreds of people have become Christians through its work and thousands more now look forward to a debt free future.

This inspiring story is based on John's personal diaries. It is an honest and gritty account of the struggles and obstacles he overcame to make his dream a reality. It shows how God can do great things through ordinary people who step out in faith with a 'nevertheless' spirit and believe.
This story is an amazing example of what God can achieve when a person moves the ideas from their heart and mind to their hands and feet. I am so encouraged to see CAP here in Australia and beginning to spread throughout the world. This story must be told to remind us just what God can achieve in this modern twenty-first century society'

'As I walked around CAP'S HQ, there were tears in my eyes as I saw the reality of thousands of lives changed forever. In Nevertheless we have a thrilling account of how God got hold of one man, John Kirkby, and through him reached out to
^___ the most needy in our society. This book is a roller-coaster ride filled with
passion, faith and hope.'
