Kurzbiographie
Joseph Anfuso is the founder and president of Forward Edge International (FEI), a relief and development organization based in Vancouver, Washington (www.forwardedge.org). Since 1983, Forward Edge International has helped hundreds of North American churches and colleges send more than 11,000 volunteers to many parts of the U.S. and 33 foreign countries. FEI is dedicated to transformational community development through disaster response work, healthcare projects, and programs for vulnerable children.

A 1970 graduate of Rutgers College, Joseph served for many years with an international church-planting ministry before founding FEI in 1983. He is the co-author of two books, including Servant or Dictator (Regal), the story of Latin America’s first evangelical president, Efrain Rios Montt. He is also an amateur singer/songwriter with two CDs of original music, Bright Blue Rose and Meet His Gaze.

On February 26, 2010, Joseph and his wife, Karen, celebrated their 33rd wedding anniversary. They have three grown children—Heather, Ryan and Katelyn—and two grandchildren, Audrey Sophia and Evangeline Grace.

Rezensionen

“Message in a Body” is the compelling personal memoir of Joseph Anfuso, founder of Forward Edge International. His brisk storytelling style sweeps through his childhood of privilege, trying to please his father (a prominent New York politician), and competing to be better than his twin brother, Francis. College life in late 1960s was followed by an epic time of wandering the USA and South Asia, seeking various world religions for answers. Through it all God was seeking Joseph and did not give up on him.

Second half of book chronicles Joseph’s conversion to Christianity and a summation of the lessons he has learned through life: freedom to serve and love. Eventually the story races to a conclusion in the last 10pp with the story of Forward Edge International (FEI) and their work over the last decade. Personally I wanted more information on why FEI has the ministry focus it does today on relief and development – perhaps we will get a sequel. Still it is a great page turner, and recommended for anyone liking Christian memoirs AND as a gift book for anyone honestly seeking after the truth.
