Book excerpt: Chris Rainey, a devout Baptist and nature lover, wandered in the Far East with his friends from college. In Bangkok, he decided to explore the surrounding countryside instead of joining the city tour. He was waylaid by brigands who tried to rob him while he was resting one beautiful evening. Their attempts were foiled when a jeep with bright lights and the sound of gunfire frightened them. One of them managed to hit Chris on the head and he fell unconscious. He recovered five days later, separated from his friends. His rescuer lured him to travel with him to the Republic of San Felipe. In San Felipe, he fell in love with a lovely activist who fought against the cruel dictator. Her name is Marianna, and is from an aristocratic Catholic family. When his friend who brought him to San Felipe was murdered, he was deported. In the U.S., he became a successful entrepreneur. But faith brought Chris and Marianna together again after a peaceful revolution in San Felipe deposed the dictator. As he was helping Marianna in the rehabilitation of the poor peasants, they were kidnaped by Muslim activists in that part of the country. A daring rescue was led by his business partner, a former U.S. marine. The love life of Chris and Marianna, with their denominational differences and the insurmountable crises they faced, was like gold tested in fire. But their unwavering faith and their deep Christian love made them conquerors through Christ, the center of their lives.
