...to the launch of a book SOMEDAY, by Corinna Turner. This is a novel based on the grim events in Nigeria, where the Moslem terrorist group Boko Haram (which literally translates as "Books Forbidden", ie "Education Forbidden") kidnapped a group of girls from a Christian school. The book launch took place on the 2nd anniversary of the kidnapping.
Proceeds from the book are going to the work of Aid to the Church in Need, which is supporting Christians in Nigeria.
Corinna's book imagines the kidnapping taking place in Britain. Read it yourself: you can order it here...
It was good to be part of the Christian Arts Festival and to support Corinna's initiative: there was an excellent turn-out for the book launch, which took place at The Old Priory, St Gregory the Great church.
The fate of most of the girls from the Nigerian school is unknown, altough a number are known to have been killed...others were presented in a propaganda photograph in long Moslem robes and it seems they are to be forced into "marriage" with some of the terrorists...
