Description

In the dusty, Islamic country of Sudan, Mia’s life collides with that of another young woman. A young Christian American mother, Mia finds more than one dark secret on the streets of Khartoum. She finds Halimah, a young, upper-class Arab student with a bright future in her family’s business whose risky and secretive decision has put her life in danger. What happens when the path of young mother intersects with that of a spunky Sudanese student? God transforms them both…forever.

Part of New Hope® Publishers’ contemporary missional fiction line, Side by Side opens the reader’s eyes to the life of Muslims in Sudan as well as some of the struggles that Christians face when living under Islamic law. The reader will be inspired to pray for those who are persecuted for their faith as well as pray for the salvation of those who persecute.

Advance Praise

Side By Side is a visceral read. It reveals the unresolvable tension between faith in a loving Jesus and the house of Islam. Though this story is based in Sudan, its realities are being experienced daily by converts from Islam to Jesus throughout the Islamic world.

This book allows the reader a candid look behind the scenes, inside the challenges experienced by those who would cross cultures, loving others in Jesus' name. Side By Side is an honest book concerning serving Jesus in tough places. --Dr. Nik Ripken, Author The Insanity of God and The Insanity of Obedience

An unforgettable story of love and patience that introduces memorable characters, a realistic, often times gripping plot and easy to hear dialogue that will promise a read for reflection long after the last page is read. Well written and researched. I was entertained and challenged in my faith by this hard to put down book and will recommend it to others. --Reality Media

Compelling and compassionate, fascinating and frightening, Jana Kelley masterfully unfolds a complex and gripping story depicting real life on the mission field. The good and the bad, the mundane and magnificent - all have a place in this novel about how God uses an ordinary young couple to reach Muslims for Christ. I will require all of my students to read Side By Side by Jana Kelley. -- Robin Dale Hadaway, Th.D., D.Min., Professor of Missions & Vice President, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary

Jana is a veteran of the Islamic world about which she is writing. Join her on a moving and captivating cultural and life-changing journey into the North Africa/Middle East region. Side By Side will be an insightful and inspiring spiritual growth experience for anyone who desires to pray, give, send, and/or go to the unreached front-lines of the Great Commission. --Scott Miller, Pastor, Summit Baptist Church, Acworth, GA

Ms. Kelley has written a book that is for all of us - those who go and struggle with their role in a new environment as well as those of us who stay and send our sons and daughters to touch those who have had no access to His amazing story. -- Ruth Ripken, 30 year mission veteran
