LONGWOOD, FL"Embark on an imaginative journey in A New Dawning in Jerusalem ($14.99, paperback, 978-1-61379-369-5; $22.99, hardcover, 978-1-61379-370-1; $7.49, eBook, 978-1-61379-413-5), the new title from Xulon Press authors Roger Alan Dennis and Greg S. Pettys. Within the pages of this book, travel the ocean with William Midnight Star, the humpback whale, and strut through Jerusalem with Rohail, the most blessed rooster in Israel. Come befriend the long-nosed, big-eared, water-spraying elephant prophets. Get to know the ?"Miracle with a Mane,” the lion escapee from the Kabul Zoo who was miraculously healed by God in order to lead a divine mission. Laugh with the two monkeys named Say What and Shut Up as they ride Lo-Ray, the two-humped camel evangelist with messages hotter than the desert sun. This book will bring the call of God out in the lives of readers of all ages through laughter and tears.

 

?"We hope all readers, adults and children alike, will discover and treasure their heart of a child that is hidden beneath all of the everyday cares and trappings of this world,” the authors say. ?"Everyone has a mandate to respond to the Creator of all living things’ call for them to enter into a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ and then pursue the destiny of fulfilling God’s purpose for them on earth.”

 

Armed with more than 30 years of combined pastoral and teaching experience, the authors have ministered all over the world. While on the Philippine mission field in 1998, God spoke to author Roger Alan Dennis as he experienced the constant crowing of the roosters 24/7. Then, through God’s inspiration, he began to write about a little rooster and the book’s first character, Rohail the Rooster, became the egg that hatched in the spring of 2010 with co-author Greg S. Pettys. ?"This first character then expanded into a dozen uniquely gifted animals as we actually saw the storyline unfold like a vivid movie before our very eyes and expounded on what we had seen with the faith-filled hearts of children,” they explain.
