Susan May Warren is a multi-published, award-winning author with Tyndale House and Steeple Hill. Her latest release is titled Wiser Than Serpents.
About two years ago, God laid on her heart the horror of the human trafficking problem, and after reading a magazine article by Sara Groves, she began to research IJM (International Justice Mission) with a desire to help. Coincidentally, she was also writing a book at that time, a suspense/ romance novel set in Taiwan about a woman whose sister is trafficked. The heroine goes undercover to try and free her.
The book, Wiser than Serpents, comes out with Steeple Hill this month, and in the front, the author’s note section, she wrote about IJM, with information about how to get involved.
She will also be donating 15% of the proceeds of this book to IJM.
