“He would lock me in a small room with the animals. Days turned into weeks and my stomach would growl. He never gave me enough to eat ” said Nadish. “Weeks turned into months and my body would ache. The work was hard and there was never enough time to rest. Months turned into years and I began to think that this would never end.” But through a miraculous event Nadish found his way back into the loving embrace of his mother. Dr. K.P. Yohannan’s book No Longer a Slumdog unveils the true-life accounts of many of South Asia’s children like Nadish. The message hits hard. He speaks of “winds of change” and a powerful move of God. The children’s stories tell of going from a life of heartache and poverty to finding joy laughter and a bright future. Despite the affliction these children face Yohannan shows us there’s opportunity for change as many find new life in God’s redeeming love. No Longer a Slumdog inspires faith that a better tomorrow is truly possible.
