Can a white man thrive living as an African in a village in Africa? Philo's adventure takes him to the fictional African country of Holima, where he is adopted by an African tribe. Should Philo follow Western wisdom, and cause problems through generous giving? Or can he convince Western people that a vulnerable approach is the best way to reach Africa? Jim Harries' new novel of Christian fiction is broadly based on his true-life experiences, and shows how God performs his powerful acts through human weakness.
