Omwa Ombara's Newly Released "God's Child on the Run: Delivered from the Dark Jaws of Kenya's Deadly Politics" is a Powerful Story of Persecution, Faith, and Integrity
"God's Child on the Run: Delivered from the Dark Jaws of Kenya's Deadly Politics" from Christian Faith Publishing author Omwa Ombara is a dramatic, unflinchingly honest account of the normalized evil at the heart of African politics and the author's daring commitment to standing by the truth, her faith, and her integrity as an investigative journalist, despite the devastating costs that in the end, force her to flee the country.
MEADVILLE, Pa., July 5, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "God's Child on the Run: Delivered from the Dark Jaws of Kenya's Deadly Politics": a daring firsthand account of the African political nightmare told by a persecuted African Christian. "God's Child on the Run: Delivered from the Dark Jaws of Kenya's Deadly Politics" is the creation of published author Omwa Ombara, among many things an international investigative journalist, poet, English teacher, and a performing and visual artist with a postgrad diploma in journalism and mass communication, who also founded "Aids Digest" magazine and currently lives in exile in America.
Ombara writes about the everyday corruption that brought her principles under attack: "The first call was to do with the infamous 'brown envelope' that remains an open secret among journalists all over Kenya. I was allergic to the 'brown envelope' and would not touch it if you put a gun to my head. The brown envelope is a term used in media to express gifts that are given to journalists to cover events favorably. This practice is particularly institutionalized by public relations officers in government offices whose job is to give a positive image of their organizations. Government offices in Kenya use brown envelopes to circulate or post their official envelopes. Their PR officers therefore use the same envelopes to place a little money to distribute to journalists for their 'lunch' or 'transport.' From the government side, it is meant to be a gesture of goodwill or appreciation to journalists for taking their time to cover the event."
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Omwa Ombara's new book is an intense, chilling report on the painful and dangerous reality faced by a Kenyan journalist on the run for her life.
Through the overwhelming ups and downs of Ombara's story, readers will learn that true faith is not in what one says but what one does, no matter how high the cost.
