Book Description
The depravity of human trafficking meets Jesus’s message in the parable of the lost sheep in In Search of the Hidden Moon. Gil Sullivan, a young physician happily ensconced in his medical practice in a sleepy North Carolina town, rushes to the scene of an explosion to provide emergency care to a dying man. The man’s puzzling request to find missing children in Peru creates a dilemma for Gil: Should he stay in his secure, settled life or honor the man’s end-of-life wish? With the support of his friends and his reliance on faith, Gil travels to Peru to meet the mother of one of the lost children. There, he enlists the help of an elite group of retired special ops soldiers to rescue the kidnapped victims. Gil’s quest puts him on the trail of the last lost child, Luna, whose trafficker takes her to the United States. Can he keep his promise to Luna’s desperate mother when he’s up against an international human trafficking ring? Readers will be challenged to answer the question “What would it take to make me drop everything and go in search of a lost soul?” reminding them that, at times, following Biblical lessons can be challenging.

Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226152375
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 331
Book Description
The Vaisnava-sahajiya cult that arose in Bengal in the sixteenth century was an intensely emotional attempt to reconcile the sensual and the ascetic.

His study will appeal to students of the history of religion as well as of Indian culture. This edition includes a new Foreword by Wendy Doniger.

But as Clara discovers more about where she comes from, what will it mean for who she is now?
