'There are a few rare occasions in life, when events seem to conspire in a profound and extraordinary way. In those moments God pulls back the curtain on his plans and you get to see a glimpse of what he has in store in you. In the end you are clearer on your life's purpose and destiny. This was one of those moments.' AS MANY AS THE STARS tells the story of how one man moved with his wife and six young children from the UK to China to follow God's call. Robert Glover was a social worker in the East of England who went on to radically transform Chinese government's policy on care welfare. In conversations with the Chinese government Robert fought to show that family-based fostering and adoption was a better alternative to the system of state-sponsored orphanages. In 1998, Robert pioneered the first small pilot project in Shanghai. In the same year Care for Children was founded as a charity as the first joint venture social welfare project between the British and Chinese governments. The goal was to provide skills and knowledge to local staff that could eventually impact many thousands of orphans in China. Robert had a big vision but continued to trust God in his plans. Now Robert's charity Care for Children has reached their goal of getting ONE MILLION children fostered or adopted, which is 85% of the children in the state-run institutions and they have since expanded into Thailand and Vietnam. Told with humour & simplicity AS MANY AS THE STARS gives a deeper understanding of the importance of families in God's plan; God's deep concern for the plight of the orphan and the poor; how to live with greater compassion, generosity and courage to share the love of Christ with a needy world.

There Are As Many Stars In The Sky was inspired to be a children’s bedtime story picture book that took on a life of its own. It brings the reader on a thought provoking, magical journey incorporating the personal wellness, love, and care for our planet. While it is written for children, all ages that need to hear or be reminded about the goodness in the world is invited to meditate on each illustration and journal about what thoughts come to mind. The illustrations depict the children of the world. We are all one. Readers can enjoy, in this well illustrated book, messages that will remind you of what you already know. Or it will share messages that may be new to you and your family. Chanda would say these words to her daughter at bedtime as they both looked out the window at the star covered sky. The intention of this book is to gently remind people what they already know to be true inside of them. It is a reminder that consistent application of these simple messages will bring a brighter outlook on life. It may reinforce what you and your family are already practicing. May this book nurture anyone who reads it.
