Christian fiction is not a genre that I get too excited about.  I’ve had a hard time finding many authors who write on a level with some of my favorite secular authors.  When I received this book, and found that it was not only Christian fiction, but missions fiction, I wasn’t really looking forward to reading it.

But I was pleasantly surprised.  In Jungle Sunrise, Jonathan Williams tells several stories, woven into one.  He tells the story of a struggling author, Jonah Frost, and his brother Noah.  Jonah is an unpublished writer who can’t seem to write anything, and has turned to alcohol in order to hide.  Jonah finds purpose, and something else.

Another story woven into this narrative is the tale of Memphis and Abigail Jones, missionaries to an indigenous native tribe in Peru, called the Amarakaeri.  They have spent the past several years living with this tribe, and are transitioning to begin working with another tribe in the Amazon jungle.

A third story is of Grace Cervantes, a photographer from Madrid.  She finds something unexpected while in the jungle.

And finally, there is the story of Basil Cosgrove, an atheist anthropologist who disagrees with the Jones’ for bringing Christianity to these tribal people groups, changing them forever.

Jungle Sunrise tells the story of these unlikely friends, traveling together into the Amazon jungle in search of a another reclusive tribe.  What they find is far beyond what they ever expected.

I really enjoyed Jungle Sunrise.  If you enjoy something different every now and then in your reading, I suggest you give it a shot.  You might be surprised, like I was.
