Joseph AnfusoRezensionen

“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.
