God Answers Prayer For Girls

Boys and Girls, sisters and brothers, mothers and fathers – they’re all in this book and they all have one thing in common – they’ve prayed to the one true God - the God who answered their prayers. Sometimes not always in the way they thought they would be answered, but answered in ways which help us to understand his everlasting love for us.

HOW DO YOU SOLVE A PROBLEM LIKE NORTH KOREA? For over a decade Lord Alton engaged with the secretive state of North Korea.

Now he calls for a new phase of engagement in which we can all play our part.

How did you get involved in North Korea?

In 2003 I met a North Korean defector at the House of Lords.

His story was utterly harrowing. His wife and son were among the two million people who died in the famine of the 1990s, and his other son died as they escaped into China. He was a Christian who wanted the freedom to worship and for the world to know the truth about his country.

It wasn’t long before I visited the country myself.

What is it like in North Korea?

It is a bizarre and tragic place. Visitors are carefully handled by government officials from the moment they arrive to the moment they leave. They don’t want you to see the true state of the country or the poverty of the people.

However, many people have escaped in recent years – taking terrifying risks – and we now know it is more prison camp than country, crippled by malnutrition and saturated with propaganda. 200,000 people are imprisoned in labour camps, and 400,000 have died in them – many Christians among them.

Now: £8.99 £9.99

Most of the news we hear is about the nuclear programme and war.

This is because the regime puts its military and nuclear programme first at the expense of its starving people. It has a standing army of 1.1 million soldiers, with 8.2 million reservists, but its farms are failing and it only survives by international aid.

Can’t we stop the aid and force change that way?

For the past 60 years we’ve tried diplomacy by confrontation and it has not worked. We must try something new – we must be hard on this cruel regime without harming the civilian population.

So how do you solve a problem like North Korea?

That’s what the book is about – we build bridges with North Korea without failing to hold the leadership to account for their abominable human rights violations. And we must end the Korean War. This year is the sixtieth anniversary of the shaky ceasefire. What better way to honour the 2.5 million civilians killed in the war than a formal peace treaty to finally end the hostilities?
