For American Missioaries, 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. In this first hand account of faith , love, and struggle in the face of unnervingly cssual brutality, you'll go behind the scenes of a real life drama old in gritty detail by the least likely survivor. The Burnhams, under torturous conditions, befriended their guards, comforted their fellow hostages and kept their faith in a God who seemed to have abandoned them.
