This rich combination of word pictures, prose, poetry and sketches not only provides a powerful portrayal of life in the Sudan, it transports the reader to that country. Here we are exposed to poverty and beauty, despair and hope and, above all, to the mysterious ministry of the God of surprises. A moving, challenging testimony to the ongoing work of God's Spirit in our day that will challenge and inspire countless readers.'
