Even though she came from a background of wealth and privilege,
Sally would have welcomed the opportunity to accompany her husband
to the primitive villages of Papua New Guinea as a missionary, but
there was more to consider now. They had just adopted two young
Inuit children who hadn't yet learn to speak English. Would it be
fair to transplant them form the Arctic to the steaming jungles?
The Sinhuna family was just getting settled into their new lives
and this would be a major disruption, demanding yet another
adjustment. Still, this was a rare opportunity for Paul to fulfill
a life-long dream to serve as a missionary pilot, and after all it
was a short-term assignment. Though she certainly realized there
was a spiritual need, the thought of living in primitive conditions
for nine months with two young children didn't appeal to Sally at
all. Did her reluctance stem from selfishness, fear, or realistic
concerns about potential dangers that may await then? Wanting to be
obedient to God, she prayed for direction and assurance, and the
Lord sent a sign that was unmistakeable. The dangers Sally feared
they may encounter in the remote jungles would prove to be only
imagined. The real dangers they would face didn't involve poisonous
snakes, crocodiles or cannibals. The real threat would come from
being hunted by determined terrorists, driven by an evil ideology
that is attempting to ensnare the world. Could they survive this
unexpected ordeal? Would they live to see their children again?
WHAT READERS HAVE SAID: "Lots of surprises, intense climax,
heart-pounding tension " "This story makes you feel you're in the
jungles of New Guinea, living among the people. It gives a good
sense of their culture, and the impact missionaries have had on
them. You can't help but care for the story's characters, and the
tension builds until you can't put the book down. "A page-turner.
Educational, thrilling, exciting, fulfilling. You won't be
disappointed."
