Found in Translation

Bookmark and Share

I'm not sure if this is embarrassing or exciting. Just found out that my books are printed in other languages. Who knew? I honestly had no idea.

Wild Goose Chase
is available in Korean, Romanian, and soon-to-be German. In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day is available in Korean, Romanian, Chinese, Portuguese, and Dutch.

Hoping to get both of them into Spanish at some point.

Did you hear about Rob Bell's new book? "The Purpose Driven Shack of Jabez" Okay, he was kidding, but it was hilarious!

These books in Spanish would be great! Perhaps either Casa Creacion (Spanish division of Creacion House in Lake Mary, FL) or Editorial Patmos (in Miami, FL) would do it.

Mark - you are an international superstar. This isn't another language, but the largest English language book retailer in Thailand has had Wild Goose Chase in the "new and bestsellers" section for some time. I think they think it is a business or self-help book. LOL. Yours is the ONLY Christian book that's been in that section in the five years I've lived here.

Hey Mark! I sang in the worship team at the conference this week in Palm Springs. Just wanted to say that it is AWESOME your books are printed in Romanian. It's my favorite language. And country. And culture. Anyway, thanks for speaking for the conference; it was truly a blessing to be able to attend.

Espanol would be "muy excellente!!" I want my family to have access and be able to read your books in Guatemala. I told them all about the books, but until it's in Spanish they won't be able to read them!

Mark,

Do you know where I can get In a Pit in a Korean translation? I'm going to South Korea in a couple of weeks with the Seoul USA ministry. I'm staying in the home of a real lion chaser and I'd like to give him a copy. Thanks

I wish I knew who the Koren publisher is, but I don't. I have heard about people buying it there so I know it's available. Just wish I could tell you where. Sorry :)

Mark
