Trained as a midwife, Chrissie Chapman went to Burundi in the eighties to open a maternity clinic and dispensary in a rural area of the country. She had been there just three years when a coup was declared, and the country descended into a state of civil war. It lasted for thirteen long years.

During that time, God directed her to work with the orphans and widows. She started a centre for abandoned babies and traumatised children and saw the Lord performing remarkable miracles in the lives of people who had lost everything. Chrissie adopted three children herself, and has raised more than fifty others to young adulthood.

Again and again she has witnessed miracles of protection and provision. When the war started Chrissie, her adopted children, and the health staff were living in a rural location on top of a mountain, in a healing centre, with maternity clinic and dispensary. Every night there was gunfire, and every day people would come seeking refuge.

One night, she and David Ndarahutse, the mission director, were sitting praying amid the fighting, when David said, "Chrissie, look up." There were dozens of angels standing on top of the walls of the healing centre.

That was the night the angels came. "From that moment on," Chrissie records, "I have never experienced or felt fear for my life." Today Chrissie divides her time between Burundi, where she continues to care for the teenagers in her charge, and England, Canada and America, where she speaks widely about the faithfulness and power of God.

    I couldn't put this book down. What Chrissie went through, the children she saved and the marvelous people who helped along the way was amazing. To see such faith and hope in a country devasted by war is fantastic. To know God and his angels are here for us acknowledges our faith.

    This is an amazing story of God enabling a very ordinary person to do extraordinary things in incredibly challenging circumstances. It is a very encouraging book to read. It does not try to give simple answers to difficult issues however. It is the sort of book you could give to a friend. I loved it and fully recommend it. Definitely 5 stars. (I cannot get the star symbols to respond.)
