Joshua's Bible

Rating:
Summary: A must read
Review: This book should be on everybody's "must read" list. Leanne takes the cover off the foreign mission field and challenges us to consider what it means to separate faith and culture. This book will make you think about what it means to be a Christian according to the Bible, and what it means according to American culture. The time has come for us understand and make clear the difference in being Christian and being American. Leanne puts us on the road to doing just that. Read this book and you won't be disappointed. It's right up there with Sharon Foster's Passing by Samaria. I don't think I can give it any higher praise.

Summary: Beautiful story!
Review: This book was a wonderful read and it was written masterfully. It is a love story, about a young dynamic minister who travels to Africa to fall in love with the people, the country and a local woman named Nongolesi. I felt swept away by the detail and beauty of this novel, and I could not put the novel down. I hope there will be a sequel!!

Summary: One of the best 2003 Fiction Reads!!
Review: What a fantastic job! I read this novel and it truly moved me. This novel has it all - romance, an intense storyline, poetry for prose. I cannot recommend this novel highly enough. This novel sweeps you in from the very beginning. With the vivid descriptions Shelly Leanne provides, you feel as if you are right there on the ship ride to South Africa feeling the breeze of the Atlantic on your skin, then driving through the spectacular countryside of South Africa, and then witnessing first hand the rich beauties of Xhosa culture. This novel is destined to be a classic, not only because it is written to a high literary standard, but also because it conveys the love that has inspired people of all colors to work together toward a free and more prosperous South Africa. The multicultural cast in this novel is a particular plus. Excellent!
