Some friends of mine in China managed to get a copy of Red Letters<\/a> and reviewed it. Dan and Sara are great people of faith and have moved their whole family to be involved in some incredible things. Here’s the review:<\/p>\n

"In the summer of 2006, we had the privilege of sitting down with author
\nand Children\u2019s Hope Chest director Tom Davis to share our call to China
\n– and to hear more of his heart for the millions of orphans in our
\nworld. After reading Tom\u2019s latest book, \u201cRed Letters: Living a Faith
\nthat Bleeds\u201d, I am struck again at his insight and passion. No hidden
\nagenda here: this blog entry is a flat-out appeal to our readers to get
\nthis book.<\/p>\n

\u201cRed Letters\u201d is unique in many ways. Tom uses a combination of
\npersonal stories, statistics and scripture to powerfully develop his
\ntheme, but even more importantly, Tom devotes the final chapters of the
\nbook to next steps – if you read \u201cRed Letters\u201d, you will be moved. At
\ntimes, you will feel angry, despondent, frustrated and helpless.
\nThankfully, we are not left in that place. Idea after idea,
\norganization after organization are detailed for the reader in the
\nfinal chapters." Read the entire review here<\/a>. <\/p>\n

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\/413","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=413"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/413\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=413"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=413"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=413"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
