BLOOD RANSOM - Giveaway for two great books!

Many years ago I had contact with LISA HARRIS through us both being members of American Christian Fiction Writers . Then my husband and I were preparing to go on our third short term mission trip to Africa. At that time Lisa and her husband were American missionaries in Johannesburg. When Lisa heard we would have a night stop-over between Australia and Ghana, she offered three Aussie strangers beds for that night. That alone shows the heart of this Lisa Harris who for many years has longed to have a book set in Africa published.

Ray and I learned to love so many dear African Christians on our trips to first East Africa and then on that later trip to Ghana. I have enjoyed every book Lisa has written and was absolutely thrilled when I heard that Zondervan Publishers had contracted Lisa for her book, Blood Ransom.  She has an excellent book trailer on her website about this book that shows just a little of this “powerful thriller about the modern-day slave trade and those who dare to challenge it.” Do click on her name above to take you to her website.

This book shows only too clearly the horror of what can happen to Africans in parts of modern Africa today. It is so obvious to me that Lisa has written about Africans from her heart of love for them. Her descriptions of African life are so true and real there were times emotions whelmed up in me at the thought of dear people such as we have met suffering so sadly from unscrupulous evil men in this 21st century Africa.

Like myself, Lisa enjoys romance in her books and there is certainly that also in this exciting story. Two American aid workers learn about love and more about our faithful God as they put their own lives at risk to fight for the lives of the family of one young African boy traumatised by what he has seen happen in his village to those he loves.
This is one book not to miss!

It was so powerfully written it brought tears to my eyes and anger to my heart for those humans who let evil consume them and eventually destroy even their own lives. But then joy came too at the reminder that there are good men too who are prepared to sacrifice everything in God’s battle against evil, even their own lives. They remind us all of “the even greater sacrifice made by Jesus Christ” who has given up His life so that we might have abundant life. But there's more!!

                                                                          

When I finished reading it I was just so very, very thankful it is only Book One in her Mission Hope series. Do make sure you do not miss either Blood Ransom or Lisa’s latest book set in Africa, Blood Covenant. This is being released this very month of February!
