By Simon Guillebaud and Dashka Slater

Becoming a follower of Jesus can be anything but a comfortable journey. It's about taking risks and fully surrendering our lives to His will. This book, written by a young, passionate author, is a highly challenging call to respond to Christ with our whole hearts and nothing less. Simon Guillebaud says, "I so long to be used to awaken a passion in people's hearts for radical living. We are all just ordinary people, with the potential to do extraordinary things because we have an extraordinary God."

A compelling read from a passionate author

I was certainly challenged and convicted by this amazing book. Guillebaud motivates with his transparent and authentic presentation. An emotional read. Will leave you re-thinking your commitment to God. Beware, this could be Life altering.

For What It's Worth

Simon Guillebaud is a pioneering missionary with an old-school spirit, a radical incarnational approach and a stirring challenge to offer anyone who'll listen, and now, read. 'For What It's Worth' is a heartcry to live out the kind of simple, biblical Christianity that marks Simon Guillebaud's own story - eight years (so far) of adventurous, uncomprimising and often plain dangerous mission work in the small, impoverished, war-torn East African nation of Burundi. Laced with quotations and anecdotes the style is straightforward, uncomplicated, provocative and accessible. The tone feels personal and emaotional, like the preaching that the material is clearly drawn from. However the content and the message and the is clearly aimed beyond the long-term overseas missionary and is transfereable to much wider audience. The author addresses the issue of following Jesus Christ in a radical fashion from three angles, what? why? and how? A short, powerful book, written with integrity, from a man who is a fourth-generation East African missionary, yet carries the message personally in his daily life. I read it in about five hours (weeping as I went) thinking again of the triviality of much of my existence, challenged to look beyond the pain and needs in this world to the Almighty God who alone has hope and love and redemption for this world.
