This book has a bit of a personal side for me. We were lucky enough to meet Janie and her daughter during the periods they lived in England. At the time I was too young so did not know anything about what was going on, but now looking back through the book I realise that even now I cannot imagine what it would take to leave everyone to know and love and live as a fugitive. For me Janie really personifies the phrase “dying to self” when I think of how much she gave up. It is an inspiring book that really speaks of grace and faith.

I first read this book in the early 90’s, and since then I have returned to it on numerous occasions. It is written as a story with teachings about hearing and obeying God’s voice ingrained in the story, as it has been on the author’s life. Loren and Darlene Cunningham have shown by example the cost and reward of following the voice of God in their lives as they founded missions organisation Youth With A Mission. The book has been a great light to me in times where my faith (or lack of) has been a big hinderance in moving forward!

No Compromise reflects the intensity with which Keith Green lived his life. This book really through up the challenge that in all you do to live 100%. Keith’s search for something more in life is really well portrayed in the first few chapters of the book and without his intense suborness he would not have had the influence on Christian
music and worldview that he has done.
No Compromise is an inspiring read, and I felt constantly challenged to be aware of how I live up to my convictions or if I am willing to compromise my beliefs at a certain cost. I would definately encourage anyone who is tired of being wiery in their faith to read this one!!

“I couldn’t put this book down, it was so good! I can’t even begin to imagine what Heather went through. The way she writes, it’s almost like you’re right there with her, going through it with her, feeling everything she’s feeling. It’s an amazing story of how God can take something so horrible and turn it into something so beautiful.”
