Can faith,
hope, and love survive a year of
terror?
For American missionaries Martin
and Gracia Burnham, what started out as a
relaxing, once-in-a-lifetime anniversary getaway
at an exotic island resort turned into one of
the most horrific nightmares
imaginable.
Kidnapped by the Abu Sayyaf,
a terrorist group with ties to Osama bin Laden,
the Burnhams were snatched away from friends and
family and thrust into a life on the run in the
Philippine jungle. During a perilous year in
captivity, they faced near starvation, constant
exhaustion, frequent gun battles, coldhearted
murder--and intense soul-searching about a God
who sometimes seemed to have forgotten them.
In this gripping firsthand account of
faith, love, and struggle in the face of
unnervingly casual brutality, you'll go behind
the scenes of a real-life drama, told in gritty
detail by the least likely survivor. You'll
learn about the methods and motives of a radical
terrorist group whose members are determined to
meet their objectives, no matter what the cost.
You'll be inspired by the ultimately triumphant
faith and enduring love of an ordinary couple
thrown into extraordinarily difficult
circumstances.
Whatever the struggles of
your life, you'll find encouragement and hope in
this refreshingly honest story of a yearlong
battle with the darkness that inhabits the human
heart.
