Love in the mortar joints: The story of Habitat for Humanity

Fuller, Millard

Association Press

This is a story of building houses for poor people... in south Georgia, U.S.A., and in Africa. It is a telling of how new communities come into existence and how they fired people with hope and faith. It is a story, too, about wooden legs and eyeglasses... a chicken house and a football field... a stinking prison...men fighting over Bibles...parrot feathers and a red flower from a white man's grave... and a man who believed his dead parents had entered a crocodile to bite off his leg.

The inspiring story of a man who turned his back on a fortune to launch a housing project in the Third World - and of its dramatic significance as a new form of mission. A moving story of sadness and joy, separation and reconciliation, defeat and victory, this is also a tale about God and how He enters situations in life and changes them...and changes the people as well.

"The Excitement is Building" tells of the surging growth of Habitat for Humanity International. Hear a group that is sharing God's love in tangible ways today while offering hope for tomorrow. Here is the touching story of volunteers who make shelter a matter of conscience. They put themselves in the offering plate as they unselfishly build homes for and with complete strangers. Lives and dreams of giver and receiver alike are built as walls and prejudices among people and cultures are torn down.

The Excitement Is Building: How Habitat for Humanity Is Putting Roofs over Heads and Hope in Hearts

Fuller, Linda

In these pages you will find inspiring, true stories of people who didn't have hope?until they had a home. Stories of children who gained identity and confidence for their future. Of families made stronger and healthier and prison inmates who are now giving back to their communities. Of entire communities bonding together around an ethic of hard work and mutual respect. Of denominational, political, and racial barriers falling with every swing of the hammer. Of a growing host of young people engaged in the quest to end poverty housing. And even some wonderful love stories.
The end result is nothing less than the transformation of lives, communities, and families?one person, one home at a time. Which, of course, has always been the dream?to build more than houses.
"Habitat for Humanity is building much more than houses. By building hope it is building relationships, strengthening communities, and nurturing families." ?Actor Paul Newman, Habitat supporter
"Rosalynn and I believe in Habitat's integrity, effectiveness, and tremendous vision. With Habitat, we build more than houses. We build families, communities, and hope." ?Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter
"I could have gone through my whole life bouncing back and forth on welfare. Habitat makes a difference, and allows people to be what God intended them to be instead of what their circumstances dictate." ?Missouri homeowner Terrie Robinson
