Is There Hope for Afghans? Everyone has heard of the Taliban, but how well do we know the Afghan people? The winds of change are blowing through Afghanistan, one of the hardest countries in the world in which to be a Christian. How can Afghans build trusting, vibrant communities of believers? What are the best practices in discipleship?

Afghan Mountain Faith explores relationships, justice, and beauty in God's unfolding kingdom. These never-before-recorded accounts show Jesus's followers in their unique Afghan context. Their stories extend worldwide as Afghan fellowships arise globally, even though there is not a single church building inside their country.

Miriam Adeney and Rashid Aalish delve into challenging issues of our time, including refugees, women's rights, US military missions of mercy, church planting, ethnic identity, suffering, lament, orality, and ethnodoxology. If you want stories, there are stories. If you want strategies, there are strategies. If you want to wrestle with systemic issues, that is here too. These reflections will provoke you to think and propel you to hope.

Reviews for Afghan Mountain Faith: Stories of Justice, Beauty, and Relationships

Replete with moving and memorable stories, Afghan Mountain Faith is a gift to the church and the people of Afghanistan, offering a pathway forward as their destinies intersect. -David Garrison; Author, A Wind in the House of Islam Afghanistan is a beautiful country with a rich culture and a difficult history, but today Afghan refugees are moving to places where they can consider claims of Christianity for themselves. This book is an indispensable resource. -Matthew Soerens; Vice President for Advocacy and Policy, World Relief I pray that many people in the US and Europe would read this book and catch a vision of how to reach the thousands of Afghan refugees that God has brought into our neighborhoods. -Rev. Sasan Tavassoli, PhD; Senior Lecturer, PARS Theological Center
