Return to Mormonville: Worlds Apart

By Jeff Call

Book Overview

Author: ?+ Alan Jeffrey Call Description:

It has been almost two years since Luke Manning joined the Church, and just over a year since he married his one true love.

Once a cynical New York reporter trying to get the "scoop" on the Mormons, Luke is now one himself and determined to live a Christ-like life.

On a new assignment in Sudan, Africa as part of a humanitarian project, Luke realizes this isn't "Mormonville" anymore, in fact, Sudan is one of the most dangerous places in the world. But with a goal to further his career and be of good service, he plows ahead.

Seeking an injured man outside the safety of a refugee camp, Luke and fellow workers are ambushed and kidnapped by terrorists. Now he will learn what it means to be a true Christian as he tries to build relationships with his captors, modeling compassion and kindness in hopes of a release. But days turn into weeks and months, and Luke wonders if he'll ever hold Hayley in his arms again.

A timely look at a troubling situation, Jeff Call takes us on a journey of profound importance, especially for all of us who want to learn what it means to stand for the right and yet, "turn the other cheek."

Terrific Read!

After reading the original "Mormonville" a second time, I was fortunate enough to find a copy of the sequel. It was good enough to keep me reading until reaching the end, in spite of a less-than-favorable review someone had posted. I am very glad I ignored any negatives and purchased the book! Very well written, with just enough humor to lighten a fairly tense experience for the hero of the story. Loved the way the book ended!
