Great Big Beautiful World

Their world was small. The size of a kid's shoebox. Their world was dark. Just one…

Darkness Calls the Tiger doesn’t release until M

Darkness Calls the Tiger doesn’t release until May 14, but I got my hands on a copy at the Going Deeper Conference. Janyre even signed it for me. Yay!

At the conference, Janyre taught a fascinating session on subtext and used some examples from this book which made me even more excited to read it. If you’re looking for a moving, keep-you-up-all-night historical, this is the book for you!

📚 Here’s a little more about the book:

“The mountain people have a story, a legend, that speaks of a time so dark, the sun will turn his back on the mountains and swallow the moon. It is then that the sharaw—tiger’s little sister bound in the form of a woman—will come prowling, exacting revenge on the darkness.”

A handful of months after Pearl Harbor, Imperial Japan devours the southern portion of Burma, intent on taking over mainland Asia.

In their path is a tiny Kachin village, Kailyn Moran, and Ryan McDonough.

When the clouds of war open over them, the two missionaries forge a deep bond as they frantically work together to provide for the villagers and the flood of refugees. But none of their work stops a brutal enemy from destroying the village and almost everything they care about. It is then that the darkness calls to the tiger in Kailyn, and she chooses the path of unbridled revenge.

Can Ryan convince her of the power and freedom of forgiveness? Or will he be consumed as well?

📚 Jaime Jo Wright, Author of Christy Award-Winning novel, The House on Foster Hill, says “Janyre Tromp stuns in this new release that highlights the long-forgotten region of Burma during the second World War. A chilling, heart-aching tale, readers will be well rewarded pushing this to the top of their 2024 TBR pile.”

📚 Purchase your copy wherever books are sold!

The wee little mayflowers made their appearance this week. I just love this cheery little flower. Happy #FlowerFriday, friends!

The writers conference I’m at is so full of learning and fun. I’m very tired, but my heart (and mind) are full! One more long day tomorrow. Please keep praying for physical endurance. I appreciate you! Sleep sweet and wake up to the beauty of God’s creation! 💕

On the road to the Going Deeper Conference! I’m so excited to hang out with other writers and learn from some of my very favorite authors for a few days. Prayers for energy and good health are appreciated! 🥰

I’m reading this book by @drjohnstumbo and came across a beautiful quote I had to share. If you’re experiencing hard things right now, know that God still loves you. The hard doesn’t mean He has abandoned you, rather it’s an opportunity to crawl up on your heavenly Daddy’s lap and rest in His deep, abiding love for you.

P.S. (If you love Church history, love the Church, or have been hurt by the church, I encourage you to read “A Stained Beauty.” It’s a powerful yet encouraging read filled with lessons from the past and hope for the future.)

Happy World Book Day from Howie and all his bookis
