Overview

"From the author: This book will change your life. It will take you to seven South- and Southeast-Asian nations and introduce you to twenty fascinating people whom I call ""Giants."" These spiritual giants come in varied forms and from extremely different backgrounds and terrains, but they all have one common link: they are totally committed and surrendered to following their Lord Jesus. You will cry as you feel the martyr's flames of a missionary father and two small sons in rural India. You will cringe as you nearly hit a tractor-trailer truck head-on in northern Pakistan. You will be awed as you see the hand of God turn a Bengal tiger away from an untrained church planter, also in rural India. That church planter scattered gospel seeds up and down both sides of a huge valley amongst a lost people group, and you will be shocked at the unbelievable results. You will suck in your breath as you travel up a river in Borneo (an experience that feels like going back in time five hundred years) and see two young, fearless giants planting gospel-light churches up and down those ancient and spiritually dark river banks. You will smile at a small Indian man, partially blind and missing half of one arm, waving fire brands in front of wild, rampaging elephants to drive them away after they had destroyed his house and village. That same fearless man, a spiritual giant, drove off Satan by lifting God's Word and Jesus' resurrection power to change lives for eternity and miraculously lift a handicapped boy into God's ministry. You will feel the blood ooze from a witness in northern Pakistan as bitter winds sap the life of a gospelizer on the slopes of a Himalayan mountain. You will experience a miracle in the slums of Mumbai (Bombay), India, and be enriched by many more examples of how God used no-name people to bring radical, gospel-changed lives and churches to that region. In each chapter of this book there are two additional sections. I include a section called ""Getting There,"" which describes the challenge of traveling in each of these Asian countries. I also describe the environment where each of these giants live and minister, which are usually a great challenge for us Westerners. This adds the missionary perspective."

In President Kennedy's Pulitzer Prize book, Profiles in Courage, he said, A man does what he must in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers or pressures ... and that is the basis of all human morality. Author Harry Bush takes us on a journey with a band of men and women who took the good news of Jesus into areas and situations where angels fear to tread. As I read these pages, I felt that somehow an Indiana Jones movie transcript had been transposed onto my material! This is a must read for every Christian living out their faith in a dangerous, unfriendly world. You may find yourself as a chapter in God's own Profiles in Courage. -- Jim Henry, Pastor Emeritus, First Baptist Church of Orlando, Florida, President Emeritus of the Southern Baptist Convention When I first met Harry and Barbara Bush while still new missionaries, I was quickly impressed by two qualities exemplified in their lives and words. Passion and wisdom! So I was thrilled to hear about this book describing their experiences and the amazing local leaders God is raising up across Asia. Passion and wisdom! All believers will be encouraged to know about the courageous lives and ministries of such men and women. I pray that God will also call out other sent ones like Harry and Barbara to continue such a ministry of equipping to those who are turning the world upside down. -- Don Dent Director, Kim School of Global Missions, Gateway Seminary, Southern Baptist Convention The same Holy Spirit who shook the world in the book of Acts is still at work in the world today. Here are stories of a modern Aquila and Priscilla who served alongside some modern Apostles, sharing the Gospel and watching God move powerfully. Open the pages and listen to some of the best stories gathered from over thirty years of serving in some of the most remote regions of the world. -- E. Randolph Richards, Provost and Professor of Biblical Studies, Palm Beach Atlantic University, Coauthor of Misreading Scripture with Western Eyes It takes one to know one. Harry Bush recognizes missional spiritual giants because he is one. God's Spirit has been upon Harry and Barbara throughout their thirty-one years of effective mission service. With passion and compassion they have presented the claims of Christ in some of the most remote places on our planet. With a down-to-earth style, Harry introduces us to twenty national Spiritual Giants. Amidst spartan living conditions, Harry challenges us to sacrificial service as he relates how these national leader-giants have punched holes of Light into the walls of spiritual darkness in South and Southeast Asia. -- Bill Curl, Pastoral Care, First Baptist Church of Orlando, Florida International Mission Board Missionary Emeritus
