These Little Ones [Paperback]

Keith Clemons (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 1, 2006

Five time award-winning author Keith Clemons spotlights the issue of child trafficking with his latest release, These Little Ones, demonstrating once again that fiction has the power to change minds and hearts.

When three kids disappear from an orphanage in Mexico, missionary Lonnie Striker leaves his flock to seek and to save those who are lost. Lonnie’s worst fears are soon realized—the children have been abducted by a Mexican cartel and will eventually be sold into slavery. The market is rife with customers, most of whom are pedophiles and pimps. Lonnie can’t let his kids fall into such hands, but to get them back, he’ll have to risk capture, and even death. There’s no point in worrying about that, time is running out. The Good Shepherd gave his life for the sheep.

This review is from: These Little Ones (Paperback)

When I read "These Little Ones," I didn't want to put it down and literally read all night. You know these things are happening, but a real life context makes it all the more horrific. The way Keith Clemons realistically weaves God's power and grace into the story gives relief and hope. I was fascinated with the way Keith transitioned often, from one scene to the next. My humble opinion is that it would make a great movie!
