If one considers the magnificence of God's creation and believe God's word, that says that not even a hair will fall from our heads without Him knowing about it, we can not ignore the fact that God loves us, just like we are. This fact, being the central theme of "More than a million Canaries" is the greatest Miracle of all time.

Questions and Answers about writing the Book.
Comments from a Church Leader in South Africa
Dutch Reform Church Moreletapark Pretoria
"The timing of this book could not be better. Many are struggling with financial problems and difficult decisions. Some are on the brink of sequestration. Some will seek advice from other people and rely on their wisdom. Others feel they have prayed in vain and that God has forgotten them.
This is the testimony of a man who walked that road and now has a message of victory and hope. In the face of seemingly hopeless situations and unmanageable events, he discovered God's majesty, loving fatherhood and almighty power to overcome any obstacles. You will share his trails and tribulations and discover how God strengthened his faith and trust, enhancing their personal relationship. God is still doing miracles.
May God lift you up and change your life through this book. May you experience His eternal blessing in your life."
Rev Dirkie van der Spuy - Moreletapark
