Set during the 20th century East African Revival, Rising on the Wings of the Dawn is an inspirational, true story largely told through the innocent eyes of a disabled child.  As this child tries to make sense of his life and situation, his parents struggle with their Christian faith.  How can the promise of God's unfailing love be reconciled with the daily reality of illness, hardship, natural disasters, political instability and death?  In the end faith and hope triumph over suffering and despair.  The Lord shows that, no matter our age or circumstances, His hand always holds us fast.
