Shelly Leanne has spent many years in South Africa and Kenya teaching and studying politics and culture. She brings her expertise to Joshua's Bible, a touching tale of faith and courage.

Turning to God, Joshua must gather the strength to search for answers and bring some peace to a grief-stricken land.
