HOW FAR COULD YOU WALK BAREFOOTED? The author of Juma's Journey invites you to follow barefooted Juma on his 950-mile walk from south Tanzania's Mbeya to Arusha in the north. Hours before his mother dies, Juma promises her that he will seek out the traveling mzungu missionary and get the white man to tell him about Jesus. As it turns out, the mzungu has left Mbeya and is on his way to Arusha, so Juma must follow him if he is to keep his promise to his dead mother. On his dangerous journey, Juma is confronted by many physical and spiritual tests. You will fear for his life when he is stalked by leopards and shot at by poachers. You will worry about him when he is held hostage by robbers and when he is kidnapped by slavers. You will wonder if he is going to be chewed to pieces by a pack of bloodhounds tracking him through the forest, and you will hope someone rescues him when he lies sick and unconscious in a roadside ditch. Will he make it to Arusha? Read this book and find out
