| Publisher Description: Follow the author as she walks through the East African savannah tracing the fascinating life story of ZABLON, a man born into the Maasai tribe in Tanzania. Raised in a mud hut and entering manhood through the rigorous Maasai cultural traditions of circumcision and other preparations to become a warrior, Zablon's life is an amazing tale of the collision of centuries of tribal traditions and the inevitable encounters with the modern world. Zablon's life as a Maasai warrior takes a stunning turn at age 24 when he has a dramatic encounter with God. His eventual decision to dedicate his life to spreading the Gospel among his fellow tribesmen costs him everything - as the Maasai see the decision as a betrayal of their deeply held cultural values. Rejected by his family and nearly killed by his fellow warriors, Zablon begins an extraordinary walk with God filled with everyday experiences with the supernatural. Confronting the spirit of witchcraft so common in Maasai culture, his life becomes a testimony to the miraculous power of God demonstrated through a man who dares to believe His Word. Even if you have no religious inclinations at all - the spectacular stories of lion hunts and confrontations with witchdoctors will keep you on the edge of your seat |
