Manju has recently learned about Jesus Christ and loves reading his new bible he received from Pastor Danduk. When he finds a small hidden village in the mangrove forest while acting out the story of Zacchaeus, he heads off to find it. He meets some children and an old woman who are having problems. They have nothing to eat, nothing to keep warm and no one in the village can read. Manju sneaks them food and a blanket and begins teaching them to read. He tries to tell his parents about his new friends but they do not believe him. When he tells Pastor Danduk about the village, he goes to try and find it. When Manju can not visit, the old woman comes to find him. They want to share their good fortune with him. Pastor Danduk has brought them seed potatoes, food, blankets and other things they need. All the prayers about the village are being answered. There is a section at the end of the book about how to help places like this village with some suggestions and further information. A great book for a Religious studies course, a church school or a youth group. This could be the beginning of a Mission Project. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via Netgalley. ( )
