Gracia Burnham gives an exclusively detailed look on what life alongside her husband Martin as captives for over a year by the Filipino Muslims was like. She shares about the training received as a New Tribes Missions missionary with her pilot husband. She talks about how they met and became a couple. She shares about homeschooling their children while on the mission field and how much they enjoyed living in the Philippines for fifteen years.

I was never bored while reading this and enjoyed learning about her struggles with God while in captivity and how she endured their hardships. My uncle (also through NTM) was a captive of the FARC in Colombia for 17 months before being killed and there is little information about what his life was like there, so this really helped me understand what he possibly went through at times. I truly appreciate the way things were worded throughout this book and love that she prays for those who did hold her hostage. It was a very sad book at times but really well written. Thanks for sharing your story so freely Mrs. Burnham.
