The Good News Man – a story of grace, faith, transformation and hope

“What a privilege for my wife and I to meet Alan and Dorothy Graham over 14 years ago. My journey of faith and ministry with them in Zimbabwe has been how I envision the journey with the great George Müller must have been in the 1800s. We are challenged to believe more, give more, and do more for the glory of God every time we are with the Grahams.” – Rev Eric Daniel, Pastor of Hillside Church, Napa, CA

No one could have guessed the story that was about to be written when Alan Graham surrendered his life to Jesus on June 3, 1980. At twenty-seven years of age, he had no hope, no purpose and no life; his marriage was in disarray and his alcohol-saturated world was spiralling out of control. That day, everything changed. So began an adventure of faith and service as Alan quickly discovered his life was meant for something more glorious than serving himself. From a surrendered heart, he committed his life to serve the One who had saved him, carrying His Good News to anyone who would listen.

The heart of this book is about going to those who haven’t heard, giving them the chance to hear the Good News of Jesus, taste the love of Heaven, and experience the grace of God.  As you’ll discover, going is not just for experts or the super-talented – it is for all those who have received God’s saving love through faith. The world still needs people to go. Millions have yet to hear the name of Jesus as Saviour. If we are willing God is able.  

“In grace Jesus came to me, by grace He saved me and through grace He transformed me. I have enjoyed the most incredible life with Dorothy, my children and my friends – all because of the matchless, limitless, relentless and glorious grace of God. Like Paul I can say, ‘Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift.’ What grace and what a God!”

Commendations for The Good News Man

"With Alan and Dorothy, the Gospel becomes alive and infectious. Life with Christ is presented in all its fulness and is seen as something to be desired and enjoyed. I have witnessed the life-changing effect that their presentation of the Gospel, through the power of the Holy Spirit, has had on countless children and adults." – David Edwards, National Director, Child Evangelism Fellowship of Ireland

"Occasionally in life you meet some people who add a splash of brilliant colour in a world of boring beige; those who can raise your heartrate with their infectious passion and who create fresh personal clarity as they radiate God-given focus ... Simply put, Alan and Dorothy reveal what can happen when a life is truly ‘separated to the gospel’." – Andrew McCourt, Senior Pastor, Bayside Church, Sacramento CA, USA

"Through an amazing journey of surrender and sometimes painful sacrifice, they have shown me what it means to serve and be spent for others in a way that it is deeply humbling to witness. Their faithful friendship and well-worn wisdom has spoken into my life and the lives of many others in Christian ministry. I thank God for them." – Jonny McGreevy, Pastor of Greenisland Baptist Church, Northern Ireland

"I am eternally grateful to Alan and Dorothy for equipping me and others around me to be able to effectively minister to children. I visited their home when I felt discouraged and I don’t remember leaving their home empty. Alan is one of my heroes in the faith." – Prof. Jephat Chifamba, PhD, Professor of Physiology, University of Zimbabwe
