And, obviously, there is independence. Winning independence is the cause I have dedicated a lifetime to. It is a cause I believe in with every fibre of my being.

Peter 4:10-11 - "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms. Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord." To achieve that, we must reach across the divide in Scottish politics.

Someone who is not subject to quite the same polarised opinions, fair or unfair, as I now am.

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. Colossians 3:23 One of the most important things you can do on this earth is to let people know they are not alone.The thing that lies at the foundation of positive change, the way I see it, is service to a fellow human being. Serving Wellis more than a book to sit down and read once. It is a tool box to return to over and over, a companion for dark and confusing days, and a guide for effective and long-lasting service. Elizabeth and Jonathan are the real deal and Serving Well, like the Trotters, is wise, compassionate, vulnerable, and honest. This needs to be on the shelves of everyone involved in international, faith-based ministry."

It’s not always an easy road, but it can be a good one,” write the Trotters in the introduction of their book.The longer any leader is in office, the more opinions about them become fixed and very hard to change. And that matters. Individual polls come and go, but I am firmly of the view that there is now majority support for independence. But that support needs to be solidified – and it needs to grow further if our independent Scotland is to have the best possible foundation. And whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward. Luke 6:35 Only be very careful to observe the commandment and the law that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, to love the Lord your God, and to walk in all his ways and to keep his commandments and to cling to him and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul. 1 Samuel 12:24

While it contains many great practical tips and strategies for success in cross-cultural living and working, it is not simply one more 'how-to' manual. Particularly for those in the faith-based communities, the authors continually emphasize the why of service, not simply the how. This is a soul-encouraging book. I highly recommend it."And he sat down and called the twelve. And he said to them, “If anyone would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.” Mark 10:44-45 I’m starting to think this world is just a place for us to learn that we need each other more than we want to admit.
