Welcome to Litsy!

The title here is Pilgrims by M.R. Leonard, his literary debut. I‘d call it speculative scifi & when i describe it it sounds ludicrous.

Earth is under oppressive martial law awaiting a coming alien invasion. 🛸👽

The aliens land. The aliens are devout Catholics.🧐

Sounds like satire. It is not.

Our main character is a Latin teacher that discovers studying Classics in college was a crackerjack major after all. 🤯

Fingers crossed this makes it to you on time, @ShelleyBooksie . It only has to go 100km. 🤣

..As he gained this terrible sense of his own sin he felt that he could no longer sit in front of god, he had to kneel..It was a near impossible sight of a Triad boss on his knees; In Chinese culture it is the most servile of positions&a gang leader lowered himself to no one!

Once you are a Triad ,your a Triad for life,even Hong Kong law courts accept that triad membership was binding forever.”I give up my right to those who want to follow Jesus”

Loving this book sooo much ,I had a little help from Google as I couldn‘t visualise the walled city,the city of darkness & once the most densely populated place on earth.33,000 people in the space of a football pitch🤯,the conditions were unfathomable&riddled with crime.

This book was so good. It really goes deep into how to evangelize even out of your comfort zone. It really shows that no matter what your personality is, whether you are an introvert or an extrovert, that evangelism is something everyone can do. I would highly recommend this to anyone who feels like they should be doing more for God but don't know how. 😀

Used this as a book to read and discuss in my church‘s adult Sunday school class. It wasn‘t something I would normally read. I didn‘t love everything it said or tried to do. But it did lead our group to interesting discussions and reactions. It is good to think outside of the box and hear from others.

I read about Georgi Vins in another book about Christian missions and was intrigued so I got his book. Amazing to read about life in Russia back then and being arrested for preaching about Jesus. He spent 8 years in prison for his faith before being kicked out of the country. Amazing and inspiring life of faithfulness.

My final book for #ReadingAfrica22 #Zanzibar #Hoopla #NF

Incredible story of sacrifice.
