The Dropbox by Brian Ivie and Ted Kluck

No, this is not a book about the cloud storage, Dropbox.  This is a book about a remarkable man, Pastor Lee of South Korea.  Who truly lives out Jesus' calling that he came not to be serve but to serve.

This book along with the movie tells the story of Pastor Lee's giving hope to babies who are abandoned in South Korea by creating a "dropbox' outside of his church so women can discreetly "drop" off their babies.



It's not just a story of this "dropbox" but of Pastor Lee's love for these babies and how he and his wife have personally taken/adopted some of these babies, who are mostly with birth defects.  What was telling is that though he is not rich by world, South Korea standard, Pastor Lee and his family are rich by God's standard.  His love and joy toward these babies are remarkable.

This book tell of this story more in depth but it also tells the back story of Brian's own journey. How he was once lost but through the making of this documentary, was found, like the parable of the lost sheep.

God works in mysterious ways, using the filming of this documentary to soften Brian's heart for Him.

This book is a great read and perfect companion to the movie.

The book was provided by Netgalley for an honest review.
