If you are interested in purchasing books written by Colin McCartney there are two good ones you can order at www.amazon.com.

The first book is titled, “The Beautiful Disappointment” and it details his personal struggles of losing a friend and co – worker to murder, the loss of a child in his program and his own near death and paralyzing accident that all occurred within a nine month period of time. If you ever wonder where God is in the midst of trials this book is for you. It was also shortlisted as a finalist in two categories for the prestigious 2009 Word Guild Canadian Christian Writing Awards.

His second book is called; “Red Letter Revolution” and it won the Word Guild 2010 Canadian book of the year for apologetics.  This book challenges the reader to be a “Red Letter Christian” by trying to live our lives in submission to the words of Jesus that are written in red in some versions of the Bible. It imagines a movement of Christians who gather regularly to listen to Jesus and strategize their lives to doing what His red letters tell them to do. If you want to be challenged in your faith by following the rebel Jesus then this book is a can not miss read for you. In fact Dr. Tony Campolo has this to say about the “Red Letter Revolution”; 

“This book is worth reading for a variety of reasons. It brings together spirituality, social justice and personal evangelism wrapped up together because if you follow the red letters of the Bible that’s what it is all about. You’ll find wonderful stories of reaching out to the poor and the needy of the world, standing up for the oppressed and being a voice for those who have no voice. The Red Letter Revolution – You’ll want to get this book it has some very important things that you need to hear and read.”              – Dr. Tony Campolo

"I know you are always looking for good speakers. Let me recommend Colin McCartney. He heads up UrbanPromise – Toronto, a ministry to children and teenagers, and to the mothers of teenagers and children in Toronto, Ontario. I know that his ability to communicate, especially with young people, is particularly sharp and effective.  Recently, I was with Colin at an international youth convention for the Brethren in Christ denomination.  It was stellar and I thought then that Colin would be good for your gatherings." 

 – Dr. Tony Campolo, Professor Emeritus Eastern University, Authour and Speaker.

Colin is a world-class communicator, one of Canada's very best, while also remaining approachable and real. His personal story makes him an overcomer, and his character is evident while on stage, but most importantly off the stage. He draws people to himself, and uses this talent to draw people towards a compelling vision of a better world.”

Thank you for your gift of words...no matter how you bring it you always touch my heart and this weekend you touched the heart of so many youth. I think you are one of those people who just attract others. I wish we could get to know each other more as every time I hear you speak or even just talk to you briefly one on one...I don't want to stop talking and listening. You are a blessing from God and I look forward to seeing and talking to you again." - Scott (Attendee at a conference Colin McCartney spoke at)
