I enjoyed the book and was actually saddened by the treatment of not only the American captives, but also the Afghan people.
Book in excellent condtion and delivered quickly have just staretd to read so unable to rate content at this time
It gives a rare glimpse of the everyday hardships and poverty the Afgan people are living under and the difference two simple Americans made through their consistent Christian faith. I really enjoyed this story written by two loving Christian girls dedicated to the Afgan people. It held my interest all the way through while I was waiting for the final chapter, their rescue by Special Forces.
They clearly state that they were careful not to "push" their religion on other people, only OFFERING to pray when someone was sick or needed help. I've had this book for some time, but just now actually reading it. I am thoroughly enjoying it.
It is my understanding by reading the book that their motive was not to convert these Afghans to Christianity, but rather seeking to serve those who could not help themselves. It is very enjoyable. I believe it is extremely commendable what they have done and appreciate the deep honesty that comes in the book (especially from Heather, admitting to her weaknesses).
I am currently reading this book, almost finished. They went out of their way to help these people out. I definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys reading clean, Christian literature.
I understand and agree that there are people here in the states that need help, but these women had a desire to help the poorest of the poor; those that no one else would be willing to help. Unless a casual statement was made, they didn't DISCUSS Christianity with Afghans unless those Afghans asked about it first.
I encourage anyone who is going through a time of struggle to read this book. It is a book that when you read it, it will help to increase your faith in Jesus Christ. This book was very informative about the culture of Afghanistan. It was very personable.
