- "This book seeks to motivate and challenge Christians, both laity and clergy, to take leadership and form partnerships with Christians around the world in the struggle against HIV/AIDS. In writing it, I am grateful for the opportunity to share what I believe God is calling us to be and to do at this unprecedented, kairotic moment in human history. The New Testament term `kairos', according to Robert McAfee Brown, refers to a `time of opportunity demanding a response: God offers us a new set of possibilities and we have to accept or decline'." -- Intro., p. xiii.
