SUDAN by Ninie Hammon Available Now

Even if it were not based on actual events, this book would still be difficult to put down. I went from reading as a curiosity to getting lost in the pages as it wove the stories of each character into plot lines that intersect at key points. I didn’t want to care about the people because I knew the circumstances were tragic, but the authors understood the universal human condition so well that it was vain for me to resist. I was hooked.

There is plenty of tension built into the story. Thankfully, the reader is allowed relax between those scenes. Without realizing it, you will become educated on everything from politics to the business of human trafficking and the philosophies that drive them.

This book doesn’t draw all of the conclusions for you or tell you what you ought to be doing about slavery in Sudan. Even some of the characters in the book are conflicted. Instead, the reader is challenged to decide for himself what path he will take. Will we ignore these things? If not what will we do?

My favorite scene was when a believing father prayed for God to grant the safe return of his daughter and the only person that could understand his words was a devout Muslim man. The reader is left to imagine the impact that this prayer and subsequent events must have had. There were other powerful scenes, but it would spoil the book if I shared.

You’ll hug your children tighter and pray more fervently after this read. Get your copy today.

THE VISION is a book about a group of people that come together in hopes of publishing the gospel message in every language. Asher is driven to see the message published – a message his mentor died trying to share. Hope also has a dream to see these things through and works with her daughter Cheyenne to finance the work by developing a herbal berry brew. Local White Supremacists attempt to seize the brew for their own purposes. Muslim Terrorists work to prevent translation of the work into Arabic. All of this takes place in the face of government upheaval and a threatening world-wide natural disaster.

While outside forces press inward, this small group finds themselves stretched to the limit by conflicting personalities and struggles from within.

Each character examines the price they may pay to see THE VISION become a reality.


ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Debi Pearl is an accomplished writer and no stranger to controversy. With husband, Michael Pearl she co-authored TO TRAIN UP A CHILD. More recently, she caused an outcry among feminists of all stripes with CREATED TO BE HIS HELP MEET a work which presents a Biblically based view of women in God’s created order.

It is with this background that she has taken on the task of publishing her latest book, a work of dramatic fiction, THE VISION. She draws heavily upon the things most familiar to her – herbs, rural living and missions – to provide her readers with an exciting tale of intrigue and romance. Those familiar with the Pearls and their ministry, No Greater Joy will note the obvious parallels as the characters try to publish and distribute a chronological Bible comic book (similar to Michael Pearl’s GOOD AND EVIL, now in color and slated for world-wide distribution in 100 languages). In the process, they face peril on many levels. Throughout THE VISION readers are given references for more reading on various topics that give the plot a very realistic feel.

FROM THE COVER

“THE VISION is a touching love story, a dramatic race against evil, and an emphatic reminder of the power of God that will take you on a ride so real you will find it difficult to separate fact from fiction.”

Purchase your copy of THE VISION by Debi Pearl on November 3rd or 4th from Barnes & Noble. Email your dated receipt to Mel Cohen in order to receive your coupon codes for 25% off your purchases. Offer expires 11/09/09.

GOOD & EVIL ONLINE IN ARABIC

As amazing as it sounds, No Greater Joy Ministries has placed the entire volume of their best-selling book, Good And Evil online -- IN ARABIC!

The ministry made the announcement in the July-August issue of No Greater Joy Magazine:

Our 320-page illustrated Bible storybook, Good and Evil, is now available online in Arabic, free for the viewing or downloading. Osama Bin Laden, if he is alive somewhere in the caves of Pakistan, can set up his satellite receiver and entertain himself with this beautiful art work as he reads in the Arabic language, the language of the Koran, the precious gospel of Christ. The sheiks of Saudi
Arabia, totally beyond the reach of missionaries, cut off by an oppressive culture that is afraid of ideas, can now read the gospel in the privacy of their homes. This has been a monumental task.

If I told you all of the difficulties we have encountered over the past nine years, you would wish you had prayed for us more.
