As a young boy struggling to find his way through the immense poverty, secrecy and war-time suffering that gripped his life in Northern Ireland, Ray Barnett dreamed of a life of adventure and travel like that of his hero: famed missionary-explorer David Livingstone.

As an adult, he has lived that life--leading a human-rights based ministry that has brought hope, healing and humanitarian aid to hundreds of thousands of people across the globe.

In this riveting autobiography that spans eighty years, Ray takes readers on a rollercoaster journey through his childhood in the rough, working-class neighborhood of Killowen--a childhood marked by loss, abuse, severe learning disabilities, rejection, and the crushing discovery that the family who raised him was not his own.

Ray's life makes a sudden U-turn when, at age 13, he turns his life over to God. Spurred by the scripture, "All things are possible to him who believes" (Mark 9:23), Ray sets out to accomplish what seems like the impossible--from securing the release of Hezbollah-held hostages and imprisoned Christians, to launching the world-renowned African Children's Choir, to unraveling the lifelong mystery surrounding his identity.

Don't Tell Me it Can't Be Done is an inspiring testament of the miracles that can transpire when we put our faith in God and take action; believing if we do everything that's in our power to do, God will take care of the rest.
