I highly recommend Upended. Not just because Jedd is a close relative of mine, but because it is a potentially life-changing book. It is an extremely practical, contemporary, and moving book on what it means to truly follow Christ and be an "apprentice" to Him for the glory of God. It delves into the ins and outs of how our communication with one another and with God shapes not only ourselves, but deeply affects others, and potentially their relationship with God. Presence, attentiveness, incarnation, authenticity, and concreteness in our relationships are all addressed. The topics are examined with clarity and depth and brought to life through many stories and personal anecdotes. It is available in hard copy or digital (Kindle or Nook) versions through the Upended website or Amazon and a few others.
This is the blog for Gavin and Carrie Jones and family. We live in Papua New Guinea and are working to see lives transformed by the living Word of God through Bible translation. Gavin is a helicopter pilot. Carrie, who has her degree in Public Health, works in the lab at our busy rural clinic. Our son, Isaac, was born in 2004 and our quintuplets, Will, David, Marcie, Seth, and Grace, were born in 2012.
Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. The you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all you heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight. -Proverbs 3:3-6

Upended
This is a follow-up to my last post. If you would like to know a bit more about the Christian Alliance For Orphans (CAFO), the following video gives you a good glimpse into the heart of the organization. Jedd Medefind, the president of the CAFO, is interviewed about the Alliance as well as about his book, Upended: How following Jesus Remakes Your Words and World.
