There are occasions, when a book comes along at a critical time, where the insights provided and foundations established through its publishing, fills a broad vacuum with new vision. Dr. Ivan Satyavrata has written just such a book at a critical moment where serious theological reflection about the Church's engagement with the poor again requires recalibration. If readers will take seriously the sturdy scholarship and prophetic voice of Dr. Satyavrata, we will avoid the debilitating results of popular pop justice causes of the day that threaten to dissipate the Church's witness with feel good activities that rob the fullest impact of Spirit-empowered ministry."" -Dr. Byron Klaus, Former President, Assemblies of God Theological Seminary.

Ivan M. Satyavrata serves as Senior Pastor of the Assembly of God Church in Kolkata, which has close to 4,000 people and a significant social outreach, providing education and basic nutrition for several thousand children in and around the city of Kolkata. He has played an active role in Christian leadership training as President of the Centre for Global Leadership Development (formerly SABC), Bangalore, of which he now serves as Board Chairman, and has recently been invited to serve as International Deputy Director for the Lausanne Movement in South Asia. His chief interest has been in issues relating to the Christian witness to people of other faiths. Ivan's wife Sheila and sons, Rahul and Rohan, are the pride and joy of his life.
