Craig Keener - Impossible Love: The True Story of an African Civil War, Miracles and Hope against All Odds

I was not prepared for how compelling this book is. It has all the ingredients of a spy thriller that will keep you turning the pages. Most of all, it is a testimony to the power, faithfulness and glory of the living God.

Dr. R. T. Kendall, senior minister (retired), Westminster Chapel, London

This is an epic story. It spoke to me deeply. Hope for suffering servants flooded my soul as I received a fresh revelation of the heavenly Fathers patient, long-suffering love. Everybody should read this and pass it on.

Impossible Love is faith building and motivating to an extreme, telling a story that will grip and strengthen every hungry heart that longs for God regardless of all opposition, pain and discouragement. This story gripped my heart as few books have and lifted me higher in Jesus than ever. Read it!

This book is powerful and unlike any other you have read. Craigs and Mdines stories couldnt be more different, yet Gods impossible love weaves them together as they pursue Him. Reading this book kindled a flame in my heart to be a greater part of Gods story, and I am sure you will also be changed by encountering the Author of Life in a fresh, new way.

What happens when the worlds greatest New Testament scholar pens his incredible story with his wife in riveting prose? You get Impossible Love .

In my opinion, Craig Keener is one of the top five New Testament scholars in the world today. With Impossible Love , we get a glimpse of the man himself. But this book is no simple autobiography. It is a narrative filled with danger and tender love for God, seeking and standing courageously for Him in the midst of great sorrow, hardship and a sense of Gods absence. If you want to see an example of two people who faced great hardships in lifewhile a supernatural God was always with them and delivered them to a life of fruitful love, joy and ministrythis is the book for you.

Dr. Craig Keener, brilliant biblical scholar, is known globally. Impossible Love introduces us to another Dr. Keener: Dr. Mdine Moussounga Keener. Impossible Love is not just the inspirational account of a love between a man and a woman. It is an open and welcoming window into Gods grace that leaves the reader cheering while breathing a prayer of thanks for the goodness of God, who demonstrates His power most clearly in human weakness.

George O. Wood, general superintendent, General Council of the Assemblies of God

Impossible Love is the kind of book we all need to readto remind ourselves of the reality of God, His power and the way He supernaturally intersects our lives. This book changed my perspective on the power of God in the lives of His people.

Mary DeMuth, author, Worth Living: How God s Wild Love for You Makes You Worthy

What an incredible story! This amazing book is a real page-turner, full of hope and the character of Jesus in the midst of incredible challengesand with a happy ending at that.

Dr. Michael L. Brown, host, nationally syndicated daily radio show The Line of Fire

A genuinely epic encounter of two people coming together from two different parts of the world experiencing Gods grace in overcoming unspeakable obstacles. This is biographical testimony at its best because it is not merely a story of two people, but the story of Gods prevailing work in our lives.

Timothy C. Tennent, Ph.D., president, Asbury Theological Seminary

An epic love story that takes place in a time of wara love story not just between Craig and Mdine Keener but between God and His people. If you have ever wondered where God is in the midst of suffering and loss, you must read Impossible Love ! This is one of those rarest of books that inspires me to pray to want to know and love God better.
