"God has set us on mission to reach the world’s most vulnerable people. We have a heart for them because God does. So glad we can be on this mission of rescuing more together!" —TIM TEBOW, athlete, NY Times best-selling author, global speaker, entrepreneur
"There are few people who have helped Mary Beth and me come to know Jesus better the way that Al and Susan Henson have. We had the privilege of walking closely with them early in my career and our marriage. Our lives have been marked for good by the way they love Jesus and people with a deep passion. This book is evidence of that remarkable love, and I’m so thankful that they’ve shared these incredible stories of the transformational power of the Gospel as they’ve witnessed it." —STEVEN CURTIS CHAPMAN, Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter, record producer, actor, author, and social activist
"Be prepared to weep and be challenged to join in the rescue efforts for the 'least of these' and the persecuted church. The stories are filled with heartbreak, yes, but there is also hope. We are so very grateful for Al and Susan Henson and Compassionate Hope for this book and for dedicating their lives in faithful obedience to our Father God. It has been my privilege to be invited by the Father to join Him in rescuing the 'least of these' with Compassionate Hope. That privilege has translated into fulfillment of the covenant to being blessed to be a blessing and to make the Lord known." —DAVID L. DUNKEL, Kforce, Inc., Chairman; C12, LLC, Chairman
"As a fellow board member serving Compassionate Hope Foundation and, more importantly, a brother in Christ with Al and Susan Henson, it is without reservation that I recommend this book. I have witnessed firsthand the stories of persecution highlighted in Breaking Invisible Chains and as I read this book, I am reminded of the hunger for God’s Word displayed in the tearful eyes of the persecuted. From those persecuted for Christ in rural villages to the stories of Ning, Elly, and others subjected to human trafficking, and finally to the construction of Villages of Hope, this book underscores the redemptive love and freedom conveyed by the Gospel. I pray this book stirs your heart to action and service for the 'least of these.'” —JOHN M. DOYLE, Compassionate Hope Foundation, Vice-Chairman
"Breaking Invisible Chains is a book you read with your heart, and not your head. (I read it twice.) This book is not about evangelistic methods or how to organize a church to reach people. It is a book about saving 'the least of these,' children living in abject poverty who are hungry for sustenance, who suffer abuse and neglect, and some who become trafficking victims. You will read their stories—told by the children—and they will grip your heart to pray and identify with Al and Susan’s compassionate ministry."
—ELMER L. TOWNS, Co-Founder, Liberty University
"This book is your invitation to join God where He’s working. Intense, heartbreaking, and yet filled with hope, Breaking Invisible Chains gives a clear vision of God’s power to liberate and transform lives. God has used Dr. Al and Susan Henson mightily for many years. Now their impact has never been greater—read it and see." —KARL CLAUSON
Pastor at 180 Chicago Church; Host of Karl & Crew Mornings, Moody Radio
"Al and Susan Henson have devoted their lives to honoring Jesus by serving the 'least of these' all over the world. While many of these stories are heart-wrenching, the testimony of God’s power to redeem and restore encourage the reader to both believe and join God in His Gospel mission of 'binding up the broken heart' and 'setting the captive free.' Stirring us to greater faith and challenging us to greater involvement, Breaking Invisible Chains inspires the reader in what happens when people move from indifference to involvement in Christ’s cause." —REV. PAUL LAWLER, Christ Church
"In Breaking Invisible Chains, Dr. Al and Susan Henson bring those who have been hidden by the world out into the light. I have traveled with Al and Susan and witnessed the breaking of the invisible chains. Those that once had no voice can now loudly proclaim, 'FREEDOM! The all-powerful God that sees and hears has set me free!' This book will challenge you and, if you allow it, change you." —SIDNEY ALLEN, Retired, The Boeing Company
"What if persecution wasn’t something to be feared or avoided, but rather embraced? That unique perspective is only possible through the lens of faith in Christ, the Savior who invites His followers to share in His suffering that we might also share in His glory (Rom. 8:17). In Breaking Invisible Chains, Al and Susan Henson will change the way you see the Church, including all those who suffer for Christ. Your heart will be stirred to pray in new ways and your passion for the Gospel will be inflamed. These are more than just stories; they point us to the story of redemption Jesus is writing in and through His Bride." —ERIN DAVIS, author, blogger, Co-Host of Grounded
"I could sit and listen to Al and Susan share their God stories all day. I am so excited that the world will now have the opportunity to read and feel the heartbeat of God and the hope this book will bring to our hurting world." —SHEA GRUNDY
