"No Compromise" is all about Keith Green, and his coming to know Jesus, the Saviour of all mankind, whom God sent in fulfillment of prophesy at the appointed time. Keith's "motto", if you will, was the title of the book, "No Compromise" - that is to say no compromise in anything in his life, from that time onward.
Two testimonials to Keith, his life, and his mission in serving his God, from well known Christians are appended:
The first is by singer Amy Grant, and reads... "I never met Keith face to face, but his music had a profound effect on me during my college years. Keith was uncompromising on his call to holiness, even when it made the rest of us uncomfortable. Now, years after his death, his music still affects us all."
The second is by evangelist Tony Campolo, who wrote... "Seldom has a musician been such a great prophet. Never has a singer challenged so many people to become missionaries. I'm glad we have this book to help preserve his legacy to Christianity."
He fought against compromised beliefs selling out for popularity, and the dust of religious institutions. His challenge raised up leaders from ordinary young men and women. Keith was a champion to some. A lightning rod of controversy to others. Keith's life story, his music and the never before published journal sections in No Compromise are a road map to where he was headed spiritually. Hailed as a prophet by many, he often struggled painfully to live up to his own strong declarations.
And just when Keith found a new secret - one that set him free inside - he was taken from us. He was only 28.
Keith's spiritual search, and what he learned at that final turn in the path, had much more to say to us. It will set your feet on higher ground.
No one knew Keith better than the woman who shared his life and mission - Melody. In July 1982, when Keith was killed in a tragic plane crash along with two of their children - Josiah, 3 and Bethany, 2 - Melody was left with one year old Rebekah. She was also prgnant with her fourth child, Rachel. And she inherited Keith's musical legacy of published and unpublished songs and his private journals.
Co-author David Hazard is an award-winning writer and editor, and the president of an editorial development service. His wife, Mary Lynne, and their children - Aaron, Joel and Sarah - are happy to have him work at home in Lincoln, Virginia.
