Some stories are hard to believe. Many of these same stories are deeply inspirational. They can encourage and bolster us in our Christian walks. They can remind us that God's omnipresent power knows no bounds, that through prayer and believing we can triumph in the harrowing battles of life. With this thought, the kidnapping of Christian missionary Herb Gregg, Jr., the daily threats to his well-being that followed, and his miraculous release from captivity represent a timeless-and timely-story of faith in action when chances for survival varied between slim and none. In the end, Herb triumphed. That is the unbelievable and inspirational story that follows.
Surviving Dresden beautifully portrays the poignant and inspiring human struggle between good and evil in the search for peace during the last bloody days of World War II. On the ground that horrific night is a courageous young Jewish woman, Gisela Kauffmann. Having just received orders to be herded off to a concentration camp, Gisela will do anything to save herself and her family. In the air, RAF bomber Captain Wallace Campbell is torn between his sworn military duty to bomb an unarmed city crowded with refugees, and his growing conviction that total war is immoral. Surviving Dresden is told through the eyes of Gisela, Wallace, and a compelling cast of characters-a story of personal pain and suffering amid the hope, even as the bombs are falling, of restoring human sanity to a world torn apart. Masterfully sweeping, Surviving Dresden explores the depths of human courage in facing life and death, with human redemption triumphing.
