4The young Robert Birch wrote in a missionary book: I will not follow the beaten path; I will go where there is no path And leave a trail. Read about the trail he left, this quiet pastor who took on a struggling Vancouver church... thousands of changed lives, scores of Spirit-led labourers sown into the world, a revitalized paradigm of Church life, a swell of widening prayer that will enable this nation of Canada to fulfill her divine calling. "Do you long to be a giant in prayer? To influence Christians of all denominations while remaining utterly humble? To live in the power and the gifts of the Holy Spirit? Then read this book..." Michael Green, Oxford University. "Bob Birch's life has made a difference in thousands of people throughout Canada and around the world..." Barney Coombs, Salt and Light Ministries.
