When Caroline and her husband begin working with civil war refugees in South Sudan and Kenya, they'll discover the deep complexities of colonial interference abroad, the consequences of striving for perfection in an imperfect world, and above all-the extraordinary grace to be found in the unlikeliest of places.
"I have found the book hugely anthropological,
historical, cultural and Spiritual. It is an adventure compelled by the
love of God. “Today is Tomorrow” is indeed an incredible statement of
hope for all who would like to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
“Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.” Romans
12:12— Bishop Dr. Arkanjelo Wani Lemi, Former Presiding Bishop of Africa Inland Church, Former Chair of the South Sudan Council of Churches, Chair of the Technical Committee for establishment of the Truth, Reconciliation and Healing Commission
“Caroline Kurtz has a gift for weaving her personal life struggles with
the threads of southern Sudanese life, where contestations produce
resilience and pain meets joy. My African friends who read Today Is
Tomorrow may wonder if such experiences of an American woman can be
real. My American friends who read this may wonder if such experiences
in Sudan can be anything but fiction. But knowing Caroline in America
and working side-by-side with her in Sudan, I can say that the realities
she describes with such sublime word pictures are all real. She is an
artistic wordsmith, and it was my privilege to have her as my right arm
at Wunlit where the people made their peace become real, mal mi
chum-chum, sweet peace, for a time.” — Bill Lowrey, Facilitator of
Wunlit (South Sudan) People-to-People peace conference
