Atl., January 18, 2008 – Award-winning author, DiAnn Mills, in her accomplished and intriguing voice, presents us with another hit novel, When the Nile Runs Red. This story of faith in God, courage, and love is set in the country of Sudan. Through the pages of this book, one experiences, almost first-hand, the suffering, the political corruption, the religious tension, and the relational friction among the characters as they fight for what they believe to be right.

Former Islamic believer, Paul Farid, now converted to Christianity, felt that his mission before his conversion was to openly persecute any Sudanese who refused to accept and practice the teachings of Islam. Although a great example of how God can change a person’s life, can he now be trusted to help the persecuted Sudanese considering his past life?

Larson Kerr Farid, Paul’s wife, and a doctor committed to the cause of peace, finds she is pregnant during this tense period in her life. Will her strong faith in God give her the strength to go on in her cause for the Sudanese people?

Colonel Ben Alier mistrusts the newly formed Sudanese government just as much as he did the old government. He has fought for twenty-one years against the government’s control of the oil, the religion, the slavery, and the politics of Sudan. Will he be able to continue to stand against the practices of a corrupt government?

You will enjoy the plot as the worlds of these three characters collide, and by the end of the story, you will know that sometimes faith in God is all you need to carry you through.

“When the Nile Runs Red has all the earmarks of a great novel—a hold-your-breath plot, larger-than-life characters, with a beautiful thread of hope and valor woven through—all handled with DiAnn Mills’ accomplished voice. A victorious follow-up to When the Lion Roars.”

—Deborah Raney, author of Remember to Forget and A Vow to Cherish

“DiAnn Mills is a masterful storyteller who’s written a powerful tale of love, faith, and courage that could have been plucked from today’s headlines. When the Nile Runs Red puts a human face and heart on the suffering in the Sudan. This book is a must-read.”

—Mark Mynheir, author of The Void
