Product Description Lost Boy No More tells the incredible true story of Abraham Nhial—but the story is not his alone. As a nine year-old child, Abraham found himself orphaned as civil war in his homeland of Sudan ravaged his entire village because they refused to embrace Islam. His journey is one of a perilous walk along with 35,000 lost boys of Sudan who fled to Ethiopia. Abraham and others like him made it to the border but hard times were not over as he endured the refugee camps of Ethiopia. Abraham becomes a lost boy no more when he discovers real salvation through Jesus Christ. Lost Boy No More gives more than a narrative of Abraham’s story. It also gives a history of Sudan and the persecution of Christians by Islamic militants. | ||

A horrific story of inhumanity redeemed by God's providence The story of the Lost Boys from Southern Sudan is beyond what most humans could conceive as possible in today's world. When he was a young boy, Abraham Nhial's peaceful village was attacked mercilessly by Islamic soldiers who destroyed children and adults violently. He and thousands of other young boys fled their homes and headed into the jungle of Sudan in hopes of survival. Only the highlights of the Lost Boys' story is told in this book. The author mixes Abraham's story of survival with chapters on the conflict between Islamic forces and the Christians in Southern Sudan. The book also includes a chapter on the history of Sudan. Abraham is a member of the Dinka tribe that lived peacefully and traditionally in Southern Sudan before the northern Islamic militants attacked the South killing any in their path. Abraham and the lost boys journeyed miles through the jungle to Ethiopia where they found temporary refuge before having to flee to Kenya. They faced constant terror and suffering. The young boys had seen and experienced what no person should ever have to. What is so amazing about the story is that in the midst of terror, Abraham experiences and learns faith in Jesus Christ. He attributes his survival and subsequent guidance to the Lord. I wish that the book showed us more of Abraham's life, but it does convey the big picture of his life and the situation in Sudan. Both narratives are compelling and interesting. Shakespeare On Spirituality: Life-Changing Wisdom from Shakespeare's Plays | ||
Lost book I couldn't read this book. I skimmed it, but I couldn't read it. It was disjointed and disappointing. I don't think it adequately portrayed the situation. Also, I don't mind reading religious material, but I like to know it's religious material before I buy it. | ||
A story of hope So begins the story of the Lost Boys, children, some much younger than Abraham, who fled from the horror of those who butchered their families into the desert. They fled without adequate food, water and clothes. They fled, pursued by soldiers who found pleasure in torture. Yet, despite the hardships, many not only survive, but found their faith sustained them. Read entire review at AUTHOR'S CHOICE REVIEWS http://come.to/bookreviews | ||

Powerful and insightful, this is a must-read. For more of my reviews, visit my website at www.robinmillerbooks.com | ||
The Real Thing It is one thing to read about the atrocities in the Sudan in the daily newspaper. It is quite another to hear first-hand the stories of real people who witnessed and experienced unspeakable crimes against humanity. I was shaken to the core by this book. It is one that everyone should read, especially those of us who will never travel to the Sudan in person. It challenges us to pray, to write to our government for assistance for these people, and to give from our own wealth to help in whatever way is possible. | ||
