As Many as the Stars by Robert Glover
The story of Robert Glover, the founder of Care for Children which has pioneered family placement for abandoned children in China and now in other South-Asian countries.
Robert and Liz are one of the few couples that Lisa and I look to as role modelsAlong with being some of the most likable people you will ever meet, their life of faith has resulted in so much fruit that it can't be explained apart from God. I hope their story motivates many to push beyond their ordinary lives. -- Francis Chan, author of Crazy Love
At last the world has a story it's been hoping for. This is a true story. It's a story of inclusion. It's a story of mothers and fathers, grandparents, uncles, brothers and sisters working together to welcome orphans. Robert believed it before it happened and I watched it happen with wonder. Read it and be jealous! -- Jackie Pullinger, author of the bestselling Chasing the Dragon
