I found this after watching the documentary _God Grew Tired of Us_. I read and reread many parts, and rushed off to the library to find out more about these 'Lost Boys' who showed such deep faith and resilience in unthinkable situations. Read it!! :) A powerful book, that opened my eyes to what what has been happening in the Sudan for so long. I found this after watching the documentary _God Grew Tired of Us_.

I bought it, and it has been sitting on my TBR Shelf just waiting - waiting for maybe 2 years?!? I'm glad to see that you thought highly of it. That's encouraging!

I recently joined the Social Justice Challenge which I hope will keep books with topics like this one top of mind for me over the next 12 months. Thanks for your review!

(This is probably a good thing.) Hopefully I can start getting more books like this read. Oh, your reading choices always make me feel like I’m not reading enough good books!

But I think I'll add this one to my TBR. I feel it's important to know what goes on in other parts of the world, and this book doesn't look quite as bleak as some of the others I've seen.
