Tony campolo says this about Mick Duncan’s Costly Mission... “In what you are about to read, you will get a forthright declaration of such a radical Gospel and evidence that there are people who are living out the requisites of true Christianity in our modern day.  You will have, in bold fashion, stories of those who have gone to the lost, the last, and the least of the peoples of the earth, and there have lived out the teachings of Jesus and have worked for the realization of the Kingdom of God on earth.”

    A bit about Finding Life: Reflections from a Bangkok Slum

     Following Christ sometimes requires journeys down dark and narrow laneways. Ash and Anji Barker and their young daughter Amy did just that when they went to live among the poor in the Bangkok slum of Klong Toey. They had already followed the call of Jesus for over a decade in the multicultural suburb of Springvale in Melbourne, founding Urban Neighbours of Hope (UNOH) and living with those most in need, but nothing really could have prepared them for the adventure that unfolded in Thailand. This book is the story of their Þrst year in Klong Toey. There was a whole new culture and way of life to discover and a new language to learn, and disease and floods overwhelmed them. Ash reßects on his life, mission, consumerism, and the people he encounters and what needs to be done. With a genuine commitment to the poor of this world, love for new neighbours and deep involvement in the community Ash realises in the end it is the Risen Christ that is the only authentic hope for him, his neighbours and us in finding life.

     It's happened again! Once before I started reading a book, then cancelled the day's appointments to finish it (Dominique Lapierre's City of Joy). This is incarnational evangelism, preaching the Good News ('using words if necessary' as Francis of Assisi put it). Highly commended.

Make Poverty Personal

What's Make Poverty Personal like? I hear you ask...well, it's creating quite a stir amongst those who have been reviewing it and we have been overwhelmed by the number of endorsements and reviews rolling in from a number of Ash's heroes, mentors and friends from right around the world and across almost every denominational border.

Here's a taste of what people have been saying about the book:

"Personal, passionate, authentic, challenging, engaging, relevant. These are some words that readily spring to mind on reading Ashley Barker's new book. This is no programmatic or utopian vision for ending poverty and injustice in our deeply wounded world. Instead, this is powerful testimony, rooted in the biblical story, in costly discipleship, and in risk-taking involvement to follow Jesus the servant of God to the poor. The book calls us to rethink our values, to retool our vision, and reprioritise our lives in order to be God's transformational agents in a world where the cry of the poor has become an indictment of our lack of humanity to others. This book is not structured for the quick read but for a grappling engagement regarding the call to all to bring God's shalom to all the places of injustice."

- Dr Charles Ringma,
Prof Emeritus Regent College, Vancouver, Canada

 "Making Poverty Personal is an impassioned challenge to Christians to take seriously the Bible's most ignored message.  Ashley Barker has written it from the heart of a Bangkok slum, so the sights, smells and sighs of poverty as two-thirds of our world experience it are woven into this compelling text. I commend it to you with the proviso:  Beware:  It could change your life!"

Surrender All

UNOH Publications presents the new book SURRENDER  ALL A call to Sub-merge with Christ byAshley Barker. 

This book is a resounding call to Christian discipleship. Ashley Barker shows compellingly that we don't have to add "radical" to discipleship because Jesus' call is deeply radical.

In these pages you will find a passionate and personal call to be counter cultural. Ashley Barker is gripped by the vision of God's transforming presence working itself out in the lives of the poor. He calls us to dive below the shallowness of our culture, to gain our lives by losing them and to take up a socially "downward journey" to complement our inward and outward journeys.

He honours the call of the radicals of my generation for a triple conversion—to Jesus Christ, to the poor and to intentional community—but takes far more seriously the sustainability of mission amongst the poor and powerless. It's for this reason that his community, Urban Neighbours of Hope (UNOH), has retrieved and renewed the ancient tradition of a "gospel order", requiring commitment to community practices that nourish our journeys. We need each other if we are to embody the Good News in fractured and exploited communities.

Here you will find stories, illustrations, a bubbling biblical spring, acknowledgement of failure, humour and gems of insight—all united by a grand vision of co-operating with God in developing "villages centred on Christ", particularly among the urban poor.

This book is a totally rewritten and expanded "cousin" of Ashley Barker's earlier book (co-written with John Hayes) Sub-Merge: Living Deep in a Shallow World (2002).

I am inspired by Ashley Barker's leadership and willingness to live the life he invites others to live. I hope others who read this book will be afflicted by divine discontent as much as I was.
