Summary
The world learned the horrendous details of Martin and Gracia Burnham’s yearlong captivity in Gracia’s best-selling, Gold Medallion Award-winning book, In the Presence of My Enemies. In this follow-up, Gracia reflects on the lessons and spiritual truths she learned in the jungle and how they apply to anyone’s life. Twenty-one brief, theme-based chapters squarely address the challenges each of us face as we pass through difficult times to take to the skies again.
This book offers no pat answers or easy solutions, just the battle-tested wisdom of a woman who lived her greatest nightmare and came through it more convinced of God’s grace than ever before.

Miriam’s Regular Scholarship
Gracia takes us along with her through the hot, mosquito-ridden jungle. One can just imagine what it would be like for a woman to be unable to shower for days or weeks on end. The Almighty kept her from being raped but there were enough other abuses. I read the whole book in one day. She’s not a bitter woman. Everything – even the worst evils imaginable – can have a positive ending. If she didn’t relate to the experience as one for a purpose, she wouldn’t have speaking engagements in many places. I forwarded to someone very dear to me who needs to get off the ground and fly. Highly recommended!
