MAI continues strategic partnerships with publishers in the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe cannot impact our Egyptian culture if 95 percent of Christian books are translations,\u201d said one speaker at our June workshop in Cairo. About a dozen motivated Egyptian writers and four local editors discussed book ideas: a children\u2019s book with creative exercises for Scripture memory, the story of a woman\u2019s journey through depression, profiles of unsung heroes in the church in Egypt, a novel for young adults, an anthology of inspirational readings (a kind of Egyptian Christian \u201cchicken soup for the soul\u201d), and more.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-3295\" src=\"https:\/\/maiglobal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Egypt-woman-reading-tract-credit-Bible-Society-of-Egypt-cropped2-272x300.jpg\" alt=\"egypt-woman-reading-tract-credit-bible-society-of-egypt-cropped2\" width=\"272\" height=\"300\" \/><br \/>\nPlease pray for these infant writing projects and that the writers will stay disciplined.
