Around the World In 80 Ways: A Life of Ministry

A comprehensive overview of the life of Baptist leader David Coffey - his family, his sermons, his addresses, articles and an epilogue about growing into old age with God. The backstory is interesting, the sermons challenging, the addresses informative, and the articles engaging. A must-read for Baptists, it is a very honest, personal and authentic memoir of the travels, people met and enduring faith of this well-known leader.
Wisdom seems to be scarce these days. David Coffey writes as a seasoned fellow traveller and Christ-follower, and the result is a treasure trove of wisdom you won't want to miss. Practical, authentic and inspirational, David's heart and experience will stir and encourage you in your trek with Jesus. Highly recommended.

I have known David Coffey for over thirty years. I respect him as a church leader, pastor and man of God. I have been a part of a prayer group with him for several years, and I love him as a brother in Christ. You will find what he has written - whether for his grandchildren or the Church generally - a legacy that will be encouraging and honouring to God.

David's book is a tour de force of his local, national and international ministries and includes some of his most memorable sermons! The whole Church owes him a debt of gratitude, and it's an honour to be his friend.

David's memoir is a legacy to his family and us, the Emerging Leaders Network of the Baptist World Alliance (BWA). When he served as the President of the BWA (2005-2010), he intentionally sought ways and means to bring in young leaders from different world regions and prepare them to take up the mantle of leadership. I highly recommend this book as an inspiration to parents and grandparents to invest in the lives of their children and grandchildren. It is also a must-read for ministers as an encouragement to multiply the impact of their ministry by mentoring young leaders.
