Those with no voice—the suffering children of Asia—tell their stories. And as you listen to them, you share their anguish and rejoice in their triumphs. The whole world seems to stop as you look on.
“You girls stay here. I’m going to get something to drink.” But after a few minutes, the train started moving again, and Mom still wasn’t back! Our hearts were racing. The train kept going faster and faster. Where was Mom?
Hope is growing in the hearts of those who never knew such a thing existed. In this truly gripping narrative, K.P. Yohannan shares their stories— stories of lives transformed, of families learning to love, of entire communities flourishing with new life. Witness as this next great wave of transformation sweeps the nations.

As far as books go, No Longer a Slumdog isn’t a big read. It’s a book you can finish in one setting. But don’t be fooled, it’s also a book with lasting impact.
K.P. Yohannan is the founder of Gospel for Asia and he gives sobering statistics on life in India. For those of us who live in the United States, the most impoverished situation here would be wealthy in India. He paints such a picture of abuse and hard work that I could almost smell the places he was talking about. Kids are often taken to work the streets and disfigured simply because that brings about more money. Stories like this, filled with precious pictures of the children, brought a lump to my throat as I turned the pages.
Thankfully, No Longer a Slumdog isn’t about gloom. It’s about hope that Christ brings. The author shares how Gospel for Asia is helping and wonderful statistics about how things are changing. Even better, there is a call to action for the reader to partner with them.
This book stirs compassion and gives the majority of the world a glimpse into life we could never imagine. I challenge readers to pick up a copy and pray.
