I Am That Child: Changing Hearts and Changing the World
"Elizabeth Geitz's odyssey to a Cameroon orphanage yields profound insights into AIDS, criminalization of HIV, and racial and gender discrimination--not to mention a narrative that is as breath-taking as it is inspiring."~John BerendtAuthor ofMidnight in the Garden of Good and Evil"This most compelling book about mission that is honest-to-God ... and honest-before-God ... that I have ever read."~Phyllis TickleAuthor ofEmbracing EmergenceandThe Divine Hours, and former religion editor forPublishers Weekly"Geitz takes us into a brilliant world-one seldom seen through Western eyes. If you see this world, I predict two things. First, you will not look away. Lastly, you will discover here courage and perseverance."~Michael BattleAuthor ofUbuntu: I in You and You in Me"[A] touching account of learning and growing across boundaries of culture and economics that shows 'the love of God materialized.' Geitz's book encourages us to explore solidarity with companions in the Two-Thirds World-and with those suffering injustice at home."~Titus PreslerAuthor ofGoing Global with God"The stories unfold in short, lively chapters and take the reader on a fascinating tour. Elizabeth Geitz writes lucidly and engagingly of her own privilege and a pilgrimage that brought her to a renewed passion and priesthood; one hopes that she'll continue sharing more with us all."~Sam PortaroAuthor ofTransforming Vocation
