Deliverance for Duncan<\/span><\/font>

<\/a>

Ruth and her family lived in Kenya for many years and she does a fascinating job of weaving many actual events into the fictional life of Duncan. From homeless glue-sniffing street boy to polygamist to the death of his child to missionary in his own country, Duncan’s story winds gracefully through tribal practices and cultural nuances. Throughout the story, I was impressed most with its authenticity. It is obvious that Ruth lived in Kenya and knew and loved her people. <\/span>

I love books that tell a story, but also help us to experience a world broader than our own. Deliverance for Duncan<\/span> lets you breathe in Kenya for a few hours. I suspect that you, like me, will be shaken at your own lack of simple trust in a God you have known all your life. Why are we, the spoiled Americans, the ones to most question that God is good? Ruth doesn’t ask the question, but it is unavoidable. She just tells a story. Duncan’s story. The story of many, many Kenyans. <\/span>

Ruth is giving away one copy of Deliverance for Duncan<\/span>. To enter, leave a comment on this xanga post. You can also receive an extra entry by linking to facebook or your blog (leave a separate comment telling me you did so).<\/span>

I will close this giveaway Thursday, December 1st. <\/span>

And just for fun, if I were giving this gift to a friend, I think it would be fun to include things like:<\/span>
<\/a>

chai latte concentrate (Chai tea is a staple in Kenya)<\/span>
a friends mug<\/span>
and <\/span>
chocolates<\/span>

To order your own copy of Deliverance for Duncan<\/span>, email mark.kuepfer{at}gmail{dot}com<\/span>
The books are $12.85 plus shipping.<\/span>

Good luck on winning!<\/span><\/p>\n
