“After chronicling her own call to action in It’s Not Okay With Me, Janine Maxwell turns the question to us.  Is It Okay With You? forces us to ask ourselves: do we each have a responsibility to act upon vast inequality and suffering?  In this interdependent world, where our fates are inextricably bound together, we can’t afford to say no.  It shouldn’t be okay with us, because we all have the ability to make a remarkable difference in the future of humanity." 

His Excellency the Honorable Themba Masuku
Deputy Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Swaziland

“Janine’s book speaks to your inner you.  If you have been cold towards the plight of children, this book should make you hot - you can’t be lukewarm, and if you can’t jump to any action, then you are in a bad state of denial to reality.”

Gary Haugen
President and CEO, International Justice Mission

“Janine Maxwell’s Is it OK with You? is filled with stories of people whose lives have been changed by living the great adventure God calls us to in serving our neighbors –  near and far.  This powerful book calls us each to action on behalf of those most vulnerable in the world.  I hope you’ll respond to Janine’s challenge and engage in the urgent – and exhilarating – work to which God calls us.”

“Janine’s direct approach is refreshing and challenging. Her storytelling helps us better understand the complexities of poverty, AIDS, orphans, and African culture while challenging us to do our part to make a difference in the life of a child who has been abandoned or ignored. After traveling with our children to Africa, we can confidently say that Janine speaks the truth about the situation, and we know that each of us can do something to make a difference. It is not okay with our family either!”

Mark Foreman
Senior Pastor, North Coast Calvary Chapel and author of Wholly Jesus

“Janine continues to inspire all of us to give ourselves away. Her words and her life remind us that it is more blessed to give than to receive. Her message of hope is a call to abundant living found in the faces of children in Swaziland. Is It Okay With You? will inspire you and your family that we can make a difference with lives less fortunate in our life time.”

Acer Group Founder / Chairman of iD SoftCapital Group

“The question of whether one person can change the world is clearly answered by Ms. Maxwell, and the answer is yes! People of influence and wealth must join together with the next generation to act together to change the world. I am proud of the students at Changhua Senior High School in Taiwan who have taken action and then traveled to Swaziland to serve the poor.”

Dr. Barry H. Corey
President, Biola University

“Almost thirty years ago, I met Janine at a mid-western college as we navigated those undergraduate years far from our homes. Janine headed back to Toronto to start what became a thriving marketing firm. I returned to Boston. Two decades later, I picked up her book It’s Not Okay With Me and read her odyssey from CEO to servant of the poor. Janine is the real deal. Now in her second book Is it Okay with You? she invites us to join that journey with her, a journey to climb off the grandstands and get onto the field. May those who read these stories join the growing chorus of followers of Christ who will say, ‘No, it’s not okay with me either.’ As Christians fulfill their mandate to be voices of redemption and repairers of the breach (Isaiah 58), we find a notable practitioner and summoner in Janine Maxwell.”

Dr. Joyce Mareverwa
Medical Director, Baylor International Pediatric AIDS Initiative

“I have read a number of books that touched and moved me emotionally but Janine Maxwell’s is more that just that. I could not stop reading it until I got to the last word! It touches the soul and spirit and compels one to take immediate action. It is not okay with me either. It is a “must read” for those who put their hand to this book. If you want to do exploits this could be the best starting point. Go ahead and experience what I mean.”

Gary Skinner
Founder, Watoto Church and Watoto Child Care Ministries, Uganda

"Janine Maxwell has it right. One day the story of AIDS in Africa will be told. Whether it has a good ending or bad will depend on how we respond today to this mega-crisis. The Church has all the necessary resources to finish this job, now.  Through radical, generous and practical acts of compassion focused on some of the world's most needy people, we can change the world.  What will it take?  Read the book!  You'll find the answers inside, wrapped up in compelling real life stories that are a continuation of the Book of Acts. Is It Okay With You? will inspire you, provoke you, challenge you and make you laugh. It may also change your life."

Dan Chun
Pastor, First Presbyterian Church of Honolulu and President, Hawaiian Islands Ministries

"If you have even a whisper from God that He might be calling you to join Him in an adventure, this book is a must-read. Powerful. Compelling. Jarring. Gut-wrenching. Not for the faint-hearted."

Rev. Dr. Harrison G. Olan’g
Vice-Chancellor-Mount Meru University, Arusha, Tanzania

“No real human being can read this book and remain unchallenged. Here, Janine Maxwell presents a real and irresistible gift from the Lord that will challenge your life-style and your perspective of life forever.”

Dr. Abraham Verghese
Senior Associate Chair of the Department of Internal Medicine
Stanford University School of Medicine and author of Cutting For Stone

“Janine Maxwell’s incredible story is a testament to what one person can do, and how faith can empower and overcome obstacles that would stop most of us.  In It’s Not Okay With Me, Maxwell brilliantly chronicled the first part of her journey, and now in this book she shows a way for us all to be of assistance.  It is a compelling narrative and a convincing and evocative call to arms.”

Kerri Pomarolli
Comedian, Actress NBC, Comedy Central and author of Guys Like Girls Named Jennie

“Janine Maxwell is the only author that has ever moved me to pick up the phone and do the unthinkable...tell her I'm supposed to go to Africa! It's all because of her writing and the truth she shares that I realized that It's not ok with me that I am not helping. When you finish this book I'm sure you will be ordering copies for all your friends and family just like I did and most likely packing a bag to go to Africa too!  If I can do it, anyone can!”
