This is not another bushfire story, though that is the setting. This is a story about how a local church and community responded in the face of crisis, and it asks the question, are there still fires burning today? What trauma and pain in our society is right on our doorstep, and can the church and community still respond, as it did back in 2009?
"*Hell on the Doorstep* provides a poignant challenge ... that all of us be moved to practical and loving action; that all of us respond with a 'yes' to the mess." - Pastor Jon Cathie
"This story of collective support from the community in times of adversity will remind readers that: alone we can do so little, but together, we can do so much." - Pastor Zoran Paunovich

This book is a very thoughtful, raw and real account of the aftermath of the Black Saturday fires and the support that was needed and provided at that time. I appreciated that the author was very sensitive in how she presented information and had warnings when paragraphs might be distressing so that a reader could choose to skip that part. I found the book very timely encouraging, after experiencing fires in our community late last year/early this year. I could connect with a lot of what was said, especially regarding the struggles involved in ministry to those affected by such trauma. I liked the challenge to become involved even when its messy, to listen even if we don't have all the answers and to acknowledge that Christians are not the only ones who support and help when disaster strikes.
