Love in Action - A Photographic Documentary Book

Love in Action is a story of hope: how one ordinary neighbourhood in the corner of the world - Manly, in Sydney, Australia - formed a relationship with the people of Manado, Indonesia, to take action against poverty. From its small beginnings with only a handful of residents, this grassroots movement has captured the imagination of Manly's wider community. It now includes support of local council, local businesses, schools and churches, and over 13,000 residents.

With over 100 stunning photographs shot by photographer Stuart Harris and words by Jim Collins, Love in Action captures the inspiring story of a community taking action against poverty. Thousands of lives have now been transformed as opportunity, dignity, freedom and hope flow from the relationship between the people of Manly and Manado. Discover some of the treasures that can be unearthed through the efforts of a community partnership and learn how you too can play your part in making our world a better place.

Love in Action, the book, is available now. You can read the blog below and participate by leaving comments.

You can purchase the book online today. See the Buy Book button above. Profits raised from the sale of this book will be donated to benefit the communities that we visited in Manado.

How hard it is for the rich…

Monday, 24 August, 2009 Posted in News

We presented Love in Action to the 3 services at All Saints Balgowlah this Sunday.

One of the highlights of this book tour is meeting new people in our community. Many have been involved in Manly-Manado for some time. Some people from All Saints Balgowlah have also travelled out to Manado and visited the communities that we’ve written about in Love in Action.

The message preached on Sunday was relevant for us, the rich. How hard it is for us to enter the kingdom of God. Mark 10:23. How difficult it is to let go of our dependency on the wealth that we enjoy, and yet that’s exactly what Jesus is challenging us. He reminds us that we can’t serve two masters. Do we try to serve both God and the god of money?

Thank you to Clif and David for your support and providing Jim and I a place to promote Manly-Manado Love in Action.
