Okay, I'm ready to send you the cover to my new book (which will give
\nyou the new title) AND a copy of the first chapter. I will send both of
\nthese to any blog reader who buys a NEW copy of SCARED in a Barnes
\n& Noble or Borders bookstore. Just buy the book and send me an e-mail (honor system) saying you purchased it. This offer is good until Friday, October 16, 2009, send your e-mails to tdavis@hopechest.org. <\/p>\n

Other exciting news, bookstores have been ordering in more copies of my first novel, SCARED, particularly Barnes & Noble. And, "She Reads," the official book club of Proverbs 31 Ministries, has selected SCARED as one of their books. I'm honored to be their first male author selection!<\/p>\n

It's always rewarding to succeed. But
\nthe passion of my heart and the project for the rest of my life is to
\nlend my voice to boys and girls like Adanna who cannot speak for
\nthemselves. These novels are one way we can accomplish that. The more
\nmomentum we create, the more children will get the help and hope they
\nneed.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

I hope you buy a book. I hope you give it to your friends
\nand family. To your friends at work and at church. I hope you share
\nyour voice and your influence with Adanna and the 150 million other
\nboys and girls who need you to speak up for them.<\/p>\n

What can you do with a copy of SCARED?<\/p>\n

1. Give it as a Christmas gift<\/strong> (or gifts). SCARED is a great introduction to the global orphan crisis. The story is a fictionalized account of real-life experience with HIV\/AIDS orphans in Swaziland.<\/p>\n

2. Read it in your Book Club. <\/strong>Follow the lead of "She Reads" (www.shereads.org) and read SCARED with your book club.<\/p>\n

3. Give it to your pastor. <\/strong>Give SCARED to anyone in church leadership who cares about orphan ministry, or just wants to know more.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Buy SCARED before 10\/16, send me an e-mail (tdavis@hopechest.org, and I'll send you an exclusive sneak preview of the book cover and first chapter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

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\/141","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=141"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=141"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=141"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=141"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
