Book Overview
A hidden scroll. An unexpected love.
Uganda, 1989. Travel writer Josh Phillips arrives with an assignment to finish and little desire to let anyone close. Then a chance purchase reveals a scroll hidden inside an ebony elephant and brings him to Esther Kokongoro, a scholar who may be able to read it.
Esther has spent years studying early African languages. Josh has spent years avoiding the grief that ended his old life. Neither expects to trust the other. But as they follow the scroll's clues toward documents connected to the Ethiopian official in the book of Acts, their search draws the attention of a rival scholar who wants the discovery for himself.
Among Uganda's bustling markets, welcoming communities, and ancient mysteries, Josh begins to question the assumptions he brought with him, including what he believes about God. Esther, too, must decide whether hope is worth the risk of another loss.
Muzungu and the Enlightened Elephant is a story of faith, healing, and unexpected love, where the most precious discovery may be a future neither dared to imagine.
Follow the clues and discover unexpected hope.
