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.

Autorenporträt
Miriam grew up in Oregon and is still at home among the vast evergreen forests and blue lakes beside the unpredictable Pacific. Always active on school newspapers, Miriam earned an MA in journalism from Syracuse University, and continues to make writing a priority. For Christianity Today, she has served as a writer, senior editorial consultant, and longtime Board member. That led to her writing the CT editorial titled "Think Globally, Love Globally" immediately following the World Trade Center disaster on September 11, 2001. Bookending Miriam's journalism degree are a BA and a PhD in anthropology (Wheaton College and Washington State University). For many years Miriam has served as a professor of applied anthropology and missiology at Seattle Pacific University. Simultaneously she has crossed the Canadian border regularly to teach at Regent College. Miriam consults for Christians in wide range of cultures, from a pig-selling business in Sumatra to a toilet cleaning caste in Pakistan to researchers on childraising in Iran.She grew up in a home that loved the Word, the church, and God's world. To those passions she added a quest to understand culturally-contextualized communication. For four years during her twenties, Miriam directed publications for the Philippine InterVarsity Christian Fellowship.
