Noel Yeattss life will awaken yours. Her personal witness to stories of triumph and tragedy will inspire Christians to get out of the pew and into the world.
Gabe Lyons , author of The Next Christians and founder of Q Ideas
Noel saw a need and was willing to feel it and has written about it in this fabulous book. She realizes that it only takes one to reach one, and in this book you will find her story and others that can encourage you to make a difference to someones quality of liferight now. She also encourages you to find your passion and use it to launch the wellspring of generosity that is in your heart. Go see the need and help fill it. Everyone needs hope, and this is a book of hope for the hopeless, help for the helpless, and healing for those in despair. Ive seen firsthand the work that Noel is doing. She isnt a woman just talkingshe walks the walk!
Thelma Wells , author, speaker, teacher, A Woman of God Ministries; www.ThelmaWells.com
Noel Brewer Yeatts is a global leader. Her work in the worlds most difficult places is changing history right now, and after you read Awake , youll understand why. This isnt just a book. Its a provocation. By the time youre finished, youll be making history too.
Johnnie Moore , vice president, Liberty University; author of Honestly: Really Living What We Say We Believe
Sometimes the worlds problems feel too big, and were overwhelmed into apathy. In moments like that you need a clear prophetic voice to wake you from complacency, bringing clarity and focus. Noel is one such voice, speaking with every fiber of her life. She calls us from our preoccupied lives to see the world beyond our shores. Its uncomfortable and challenging, but Noel is not trying to guilt us into action. Her stories remind us that the world is changed by everyday people like us. This book remind us of what is possible for those who dare.
Jo Saxton , 3 Dimension Ministries; speaker and author
Noel Yeatts is a powerful voice for the forgotten. When God hears the cries of his children, he looks for a deliverer, and the deliverer he calls is you and me. The destiny of thousands is directly linked to our obedience and our willingness to take a risk so that others might live. Awake challenges us to take our eyes off self and to pursue the life we were chosen to live.
Danita Estrella , founder/CEO of Danitas Children and Hope for Haiti Childrens Center
The heart cannot taste what the eyes have not seen. In Awake , Noel powerfully communicates her extraordinary encounters with extreme need and profound opportunity from all across the globe. As a result, this is a book from the heart and for every heart that truly wants to make a difference in todays world.
Daniel Henderson , author of Transforming Prayer
Noel Brewer Yeatts is doing as much to ease the pain and heartache in our world today as anyone else I know. This book, Awake , is a wake-up call for the rest of us to step up and help make a difference. I encourage you to read this book and then make the commitment that you, like Noel, will be fully engaged in reaching out to help those in need. Please read this book today.
Jonathan Falwell , pastor of Thomas Road Baptist Church
Y ou were born in the developed world. You have parents and a family. You have a place to live and call home. You have an education and endless opportunities. You have food, clothing, and access to healthcare. Okay, maybe you dont have everything you want, but if you are honest, you do have everything you need. Lucky you...
But lets burst that bubble you are living in for just a moment. Over one billion people in the world dont live like you do. And as Bono says, Where you live should no longer determine whether you live!
If you simply have some food in your fridge, a place to sleep, and some clothes to wear, you are already better off than 75 percent of the world.
Just drinking the water out of the faucet in your kitchen makes you better off than 1.5 billion people.
Having just a little bit of money makes you part of the top 8 percent of the worlds wealthy.
While more than 3 million people around the world cannot freely attend religious or political events without fear of some kind of punishment or retaliation, you are free to do as you wish.
And just the fact that you picked up this book and are reading it makes you luckier than 2 billion people who simply cannot read.
Are you beginning to wake up?
I wouldnt call this a problemit is an all-out crisis of epic proportion. But what are we really doing about it?
Timothy Keller says, Many people who are evidently genuine Christians do not demonstrate much concern for the poor. How do we account for that? I would like to believe that a heart for the poor sleeps down in a Christians soul until it is awakened.... I believe, however, when justice for the poor is connected not to guilt but to grace and to the gospel, this pushes the button down deep in believers souls, and they begin to wake up.
One of my favorite magazines is no longer in publication. It was called Need , and it focused on humanitarian efforts around the world. Its motto was this: We are not out to save the world but to tell the stories of those who are.
In some ways, that is how I feel about this book. Yes, you will see my story intertwined with others in the following pages, but my story is nothing more than the story of those who have touched my life, broken my heart, and restored my hope in humanity, justice, and Gods love.
Ultimately this is a story about change: the change that can take place both in your life and in the lives of people around the world once we are truly awake. I hope that you will find at least part of your life story in the lives of the poor and disenfranchised of our world.
