I must admit that title was not my favorite but when I saw the cover, I was convinced. Don Pape from David C. Cook called me and said this was one of the finest covers they&#039;ve seen. I couldn&#039;t agree more. So I present&#160;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/158919103X\/notefromthefi-20\">PRICELESS<\/a> to you.

It is incredibly intense. There will be a book tour starting in the summer with our partner organization,&#160;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.iempathize.org\/\">I-Empathize<\/a>. More to come as that date draws closer.&#160;<\/p>\n<p>I&#039;m off to Ethiopia on Sunday, November 29th and will be positing pictures and reports on this blog and Facebook. One of the highlights of the trip will be a remote orphanage located hours away that is extremely poor. The orphans are severely malnourished and in need of immediate help. We have 15 leaders going on this Vision Trip and all of them are excited about connecting their churches and communities with sponsorship.<\/p>\n<p>HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE! \ud83d\ude42 You are a blessing to me, the orphans we serve and&#160;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.hopechest.org\/\">Hopechest<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/tomdavis.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d83451b7fa69e2012875c879ba970c-pi\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Priceless-Amazon\" border=\"0\" class=\"asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d83451b7fa69e2012875c879ba970c image-full \" src=\"https:\/\/tomdavis.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d83451b7fa69e2012875c879ba970c-800wi\" \/><\/a>  <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a long period of waiting, I can finally reveal the title of my next novel.

A tireless advocate for fatherless children, Davis has spent most of his adult life calling U.S. believers to become the hands and feet of Jesus Christ to the 143 million orphans living around the world. Through those connections, thousands of orphans now have the bright and hopeful future--one that is filled with opportunities and the love of the one true Father. Davis speaks hundreds of times each year at churches and conferences, mobilizing the church to action on behalf of the poor. He is the author of four books. His most recent novel, SCARED is a fictionalized account of his first-hand experiencing living and working with orphans in Swaziland, Africa. Davis' blog is the premier resource for the latest developments in Christian orphan ministry. Davis also currently teaches courses as adjunct professor at George Fox University in Newberg, OR. When not traveling the globe, Davis resides in the mountains of Colorado in the small community of Palmer Lake. He and his wife Emily have seven children, including two adopted daughters from Russia.","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/author\/tdavis"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/87"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=109"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=109"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=109"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=109"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
