Red Sea Railway

Tue - 15 Dec Written by AI Staff

Red Sea Railway is the first complete and authoritative history of the railways in Eritrea. The detailed account has been a collaboration between Jennie Street, a writer long involved with Eritrea, and Amanuel Ghebreselassie, the General Manager of the Eritrean Railway.

Its account covers the line built in 1868 by the British for the Abyssinia Campaign, the line built by the Italians in their quest to conquer Africa, several Decauville lines, and the Ropeway built in the 1930s as the longest cableway in the world.

Song Of The Nightingale

Fri - 06 Nov Written by CR

Song of the Nightingale is the true story of Helen Berhane, held captive for over two years in appalling conditions in her native Eritrea. Her crime? Sharing her faith in Jesus, and refusing, even though horrendously tortured, to deny him.

A sobering, painful, heart-rending account of true faith in the face of evil, this book makes for uncomfortable and yet inspirational reading. Helen says, ‘I want to give a message to those of you who are Christians and live in the free world: You must not take your freedom for granted. … If I could sing in prison, imagine what you can do for God’s glory with your freedom.’ A real challenge for the church in the West in 2009.

POETRY THAT IS UNIQUELY SUBTLE

Sat - 25 Jul Written by Administrator

It was hard to believe, but there it was! The quality of Kiros’s poetry cannot be explained, however, only in terms of knowledge acquired through (Biblical) reading. Poetry’s quality emanates more from natural gift than through education. Education adds depth and texture to what is endowed naturally; it cannot be a substitute for it. The 78 poems contained in this volume display an enchanting linguistic skill as well as express deep human emotions of love, hope , despair, and life’s other challenges.
