Towards the end of last year, our publisher, CLC Kenya, held its annual ACABA (African Christian Authors Books Awards) in Kampala, Uganda. The CLC Director, Muthoni Omukhango, insisted that Grace and I attend this ceremony. We reluctantly agreed to attend; little did we know what awaited us there.
Grace and I were shocked when our book, Marriage, Thistles and Flowers, was selected to be translated into Spanish and Italian. That was a pleasant surprise.
We recently received another surprise when, during the RECONNECT Marriage Conference and retreat, Muthoni sneaked in and handed us a copy of the Spanish edition.
Here, we see the CLC Colombia Director, David Pabón, showing off Rosa y Espinas (our book in Spanish) during the recently concluded CLC Latin America Conference in Panama City, Panama.
The book will be sold in Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela. This book will go to places Grace and I may never reach and speak to the readers in a language Grace and I do not speak. Thank you, CLC, and to God be the glory.
