Inspirational

Would you listen to In the Presence of My Enemies again? Why?

Yes, to better aquaint myself with the captives and to be inspired by their strength and courage to keep going.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Gracia, she reminded me of myself. One minute she's strong & standing up to the captors and the next she's crying wishing it was all over with. You can be strong only so long then you hit your breaking point & emotions just boil over. But I think she handled herself very well.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

This is my 1st audio book, but it seemed to, yes.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Follow these missionaries through hell and back.

God at work

To Gracia Burnham a very brave and strong servant of the Lord. thank you much

A challenging book!

A challenging book. A story of faith and perseverance . however some of the author's conclusions in regards God's Sovereignty are a bit off , theologically speaking ;so read with caution !

Beautiful

So raw, real and encouraging. May God bless your sacrifice 1000 fold as you seek to minster to those who hurt you.

Forgiveness in Action

What happens when bad things happen to good people? When those people fall into the hands of evil people for a season? When not all come out alive? But when they cling to God during these times and continue to work for the salvation of their captors? This is a modern day story that reminds me of captives in the Bible who honored God in adversity and are our Bible heroes. Bad times happen to God’s people. Jesus said, “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” John 16:33. I pray God works in my life and yours that His kingdom is increased every day. This book is a great read! Very inspiring and interesting story.
