A DISTANT GRIEF is about the persecuted Christians in Uganda, and is a compelling witness to the Western church. It confirms the truth that in suffering is the glory, richness, and power of Jesus Christ known fully. The force of the underworld is expressed as the book recounts the diabolical mind and actions of Idi Amin. But Christ is sufficient and wipes the tears from the eyes of His martyred saints and the burgeoning body of believers in East Africa.
