Love burns like a blazing fire, like a mighty flame. Love never
fails, and that is who we are as flames in motion. We are God's
love in motion. Even though waters may come and try to quench our
love and God's light in us, know God's promise that "rivers cannot
wash it away" (Song of Songs 8:7). Denise Stewart, in Flame in
Motion, shares her own heartfelt story of challenges, perseverance,
and clinging to God's love and the light of His saving grace
through His Son, Jesus Christ. Denise openly expresses her love for
God and encourages the reader to know that God's love is
everlasting. God is faithful. Abiding in His love is living,
breathing, and resting in love we can count on because His love for
us is enduring love. God's love is not human love, even as we are
reflections of His love to one another. We, despite our
imperfections, are the hope of glory called to shine the light of
Jesus Christ to the world. We achieve this through intimacy with
our heavenly Father. Now is the time. God wants us. He loves us.
Even as waters rise, no matter what is going on in our lives, they
cannot quench His love because God's love never fails.
This book presents conclusions from the first phase of a
collaborative research programme on the potential role of small and
intermediate urban centres in the development process. It draws on
discussions and work undertaken with the United Nations Centre for
Human Settlements in Nairobi, Kenya.
This book is the result of contributions, help and support from
numerous people and several agencies. We are particularly grateful
to the Swedish Agency for Research Cooperation with Developing
Countries, the Swedish Council for Building Research and the United
Nations Centre for Human Settlements (Habitat) for funding the work
on which this volume is based - and doing so before the subject had
come to be regarded as important and relevant. Within these
agencies, special thanks is due to Olle Edqvist, Pietro Garau,
Bruce Hyland, Bob and Ingrid Munro and Arcot Ramachandran. We are
also grateful to our friends and colleagues in IIED's Human
Settlements Programme who have worked with us on this subject -
Jane Bicknell, Silvia Blitzer, Ana Maria Cabrera, Maria Graciela
Caputo and Julio Davila. Julio Davila deserves special thanks for
his help in refining and editing the final text; so too do Jane
Bicknell and Ana Maria Cabrera for patiently putting up with
endless last minute changes to the text.
