I read this in a few hours. It had been on my to-read list for a couple years and recommended to me, though I am unsure who told me about it. Gary explains his testimony and his wife Bonnie's testimony. They both had a heart for the mission field and did not really know where to go, but decided to go to Lebanon despite the wars they had gone through a few years earlier. He shares how Jesus used them each there and how his wife was martyred (though there are many unanswered questions about who did it and why it happened). It is the most recent martyrdom story I have read and I really enjoyed it.
