just finished this book.
it was good in a hard way.
kept me awake some nights.
tossing and turning.
i hear there is a movie of it.
i hope to see it soon.
it's a memoir of one of the Lost Boys of Sudan.
and this is not something that happened decades ago.
he (John Bul Dau) just came to the US as a refugee from Africa in 2001...right before Sept 11.
this is a quote from his introduction:
"They call me a Lost Boy, but let me assure you, God has found me."
prepare to be changed and have your eyes opened if you read it.
it will break your heart.
but you will also SEE how God cares for the least of these.
