I Am Not a Grasshopper:

“Life-changing,”

“Impossible to put down,”

“A powerful demonstration of God’s love.”

When God called Dave Hatfield, a 59-year-old former Beverly Hills stockbroker, into a gang-war zone inside a Kenyan dumpsite, he said yes. What followed was a journey of obedience, betrayal, forgiveness, and redemption that would change everything.

If you’ve ever doubted that God still moves mountains, this story will change your perspective forever.

A true story of faith and love overcoming hate
Proof that forgiveness is stronger than revenge
A front-row seat to modern miracles and God’s relentless grace

This is not a story about a missionary hero; it’s a story about what happens when an ordinary person says yes to an extraordinary God.

Start reading today and experience how far God’s love can reach — even to the heart of a dumpsite.

This is such an inspiring story of love versus hate with God sprinkling blessings in between. This is a late night page turner! I sure hope there is a sequel soon to hear updates about the people and the school. God Bless you Dave and Kim!

Really great read. Full of encouragement and displays Biblical guidance and principles of forgiveness through the love of Christ. I really enjoyed it & cannot wait until Dave’s next book comes out!

I bought this book randomly, not knowing anything about the story or author! Wow! Was I thrilled to step into the true life story of a man who humbly, honestly, and transparently shares his story from wall street to the streets of Africa! The story reads like an action-packed thriller; flowing along with brilliant prose and abundant metaphors....A fellow writers dream!

My friends just moved to Nakuru. This book was amazing and helped me understand where they are and what they live everyday. Even if you’re not invested like I am, this is a worthwhile book that will draw you closer to God and strengthen your faith.

A great book of courageous obedience to listen to the Spirit of God and see the redemptive power of Jesus Christ to change lives for now and eternity.
