He&#8217;s a great guy! Gracious and kind. And he&#8217;s<br \/>\nan extremely articular speakers. As the current CEO of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hopechest.org\/\">Children&#8217;s HopeChest<\/a>, Tom sees a lot of suffering all around the world. In his new book: <span style=\"font-style: italic\">Red Letters: Living A Faith That Bleeds<\/span> (<a href=\"http:\/\/http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/0781445353\/notefromthefi-20\">Click here to buy at Amazon.com<\/a>),<br \/>\nthe stories that he has lived come alive. I think this book is a<br \/>\nfantastic read, especially the stories and the parts about the trials<br \/>\nthat all of us experience as we learn how to leave selfishness behind<br \/>\nand follow Jesus. Davis&#8217; conviction and passion is moving throughout,<br \/>\nbut what I love about this book is that he doesn&#8217;t leave a reader<br \/>\nfeeling helpless or defeated. He empowers the reader! <span style=\"font-style: italic\">Red Letters<\/span><br \/>\noffers everyone&#8211;whether you&#8217;re rich or a poor or somewhere in<br \/>\nbetween&#8211;a way to help the need that is all over the world. The stories<br \/>\nthat Tom shares come from the many journeys that he&#8217;s taken overseas to<br \/>\nplaces in Russia and Africa. His words are eye opening and at time<br \/>\ngripping. Though there&#8217;s no mincing of words about the pain and<br \/>\nsuffering that he has seen, Tom also lets you see the hope that can<br \/>\nhappen in a person&#8217;s life when he or she becomes the &quot;hands and feet&quot;<br \/>\nof Jesus in the world around us.<\/p>\n<p>To download the first chapter of the book, go to <a href=\"http:\/\/tomdavis.typepad.com\/\">Tom&#8217;s blog<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>Also,<br \/>\nif you&#8217;re attending Shane &amp; Shane&#8217;s &quot;Pages&quot; tour with Bebo Norman,<br \/>\nbe sure to look for Tom&#8217;s video blog about the book!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Don&#8217;t forget to sign up for 5 for 50 today!

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\/447","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=447"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/447\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=447"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=447"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=447"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
