When the Lion Roars
By DiAnn Mills
Reviewed by April Gardner 

Not a light-hearted romance, When the Lion Roars draws its readers into the current conflict in Sudan.  Torn by greed and separated by the continuous clash between Islam and Christianity, the Sudanese in this eye-opening novel endure famine, torture, and disease.

Three very different characters are drawn together when the warring Northern Sudan Army attacks and takes a precious girl into slavery. Dr. Larson Kerr is on the run from God only to find that even the darkest regions of Africa house the Almighty.  Paul Farid, a former Muslim and persecutor of the faith, seeks to appease his conscious by putting his life on the line to aid those he once despised.  Colonel Ben Alier, consumed with hate for those who seek to over-run the oil rich Southern Sudan, fights with more than just holy wrath.  Can God reach his hardened heart and draw him back into fellowship with Him?

DiAnn Mills takes you on a journey through violent battles, lion attacks, crocodile infested waters, and the ever-present spiritual battles that plague Christians of all walks the world round. 

This tremendous novel provokes the reader to pray for the situation that is still unfolding in Africa.  A line from a beautiful song comes to mind upon reflecting the lessons learned from this book.  “Though wars never cease, I am at peace with God.”
