A Note from the Author: Tom Davis<\/strong>
\n Scared<\/em> is a work of fiction, but the world and life stories described in the book are very real. I\u2019ve experienced them up close in my work as CEO of Children\u2019s HopeChest.><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve met hundreds of kids who\u2019ve lost parents, or whole communities of adults, to AIDS. I\u2019ve held a starving child, and I\u2019ve put my arms around a young girl the age of one of my daughters who\u2019d been abused by a family member. I\u2019ll never forget the five-year-old boy, coming from his empty hut miles away, carrying his two-year-old sister on his back to get food at a CarePoint.<\/p>\n

There aren\u2019t words to describe your emotions in the face of these circumstances.<\/p>\n

I write this, like\u00a0Scared<\/em>, not to shock, but to give voice to these children to make them heard. And to bring them help.<\/p>\n

At HopeChest, we meet practical and pressing needs. That\u2019s the bottom line of caring for orphans. But we do more through a unique model that helps kids to overcome their circumstances and impact their world.<\/p>\n

About the Book
\n Released by Cook Communications,\u00a0Scared: A Novel on the Edge of the World<\/em>, follows the story of U.S. photojournalist Stuart Daniels and a young Swazi girl, Adanna. Like many in her country, she finds herself as the head of her household in a land with little to offer anyone in need. Termed \u201cNation of Orphans,\u201d Swaziland has the highest rate of HIV\/AIDS in Africa.<\/span><\/p>\n

The themes of the story are not easy disease, hunger, death, and man\u2019s basest evil toward his fellow man, even children. Reality in Swaziland isn\u2019t easy for anyone. In fiction, as in life, the characters show a resilience of spirit in the face of unthinkable adversity. In the same way, their stories display the power of relationship, human and divine, to heal and restore.<\/p>\n

Stuart Daniels, a battle- and life-worn photojournalist, has taken what he believes may be the last of his assignments. His personal life, including his marriage, is a disaster. He\u2019s haunted by an award-winning photo that made his career, but has left him a shell of a person. Adanna is a young Swazi girl with an incredible gift, a voice that cries out for her people.<\/p>\n

Scared<\/em> is a testimony of the power of words to sustain and change lives and the power of God to bring light and new life, even to the darkest places. As Christian Fiction Online Magazine reviewer, Michelle Sutton, stated: \u201cYou’d have to have a heart of stone not to be emotionally moved when you read\u00a0Scared<\/em>. The entire time I read this book I was in Africa right along with the characters. That’s great writing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Enter the world of\u00a0Scared<\/em>, and you will find yourself transported to a different world. Certainly moved. Maybe even transformed.<\/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\/2757","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=2757"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2757\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2759,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2757\/revisions\/2759"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2757"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2757"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2757"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
