About This Novel

Besides kidnapping itself, what else threatens the fragile lives of missionaries? Why does the U. S. Government take a tough stance and refuse to compromise or pay ransom? Who was the author's husband Martin beaten to death? Terrorists or government forces? Why is there such a distant relationship between government forces and terrorists, and why there seems to be some kind of tacit understanding? Contradiction: endure torture or take advantage of the opportunity to escape? Hateful or loving? Martin clearly had the chance to escape, but he stayed. The terrorists use their hostages as shields to hide in Tibet in the middle of the jungle, raining bullets, regardless of the cost. They use their tough faith and tender love to comfort their fellow hostages. They treat their captors more like friends and pray for them constantly! The author and her husband abandoned their comfortable life in the United States, sold their properties, and went to preach in poor places for 17 years. However, they were held hostage while celebrating their 18th wedding anniversary! The hostages fled for their lives in the muddy jungle all day long. Not only did they expose their various sinful natures, they also became disappointed, complained, and lost faith in God. Many times not only can't we find the path under our feet, we can't find God's way either. Many people around the world prayed for them and asked God to save them from danger, but the author still lost her husband. This book describes for the first time the details of how terrorists treat hostages. While showing the tragic life of the hostages, it also revealed the subtle relationship between Philippine officials and terrorists, which immediately aroused thousands of waves!
