Can faith, hope, and love survive a year of terror?

For American missionaries Martin and Gracia Burnham, what started out as a relaxing, once-in-a-lifetime anniversary getaway at an exotic island resort turned into one of the most horrific nightmares imaginable.

Kidnapped by the Abu Sayyaf, a Muslim terrorist group with ties to Osama bin Laden, the Burnhams were snatched away from friends and family and thrust into a life on the run in the Philippine jungle. During a perilous year in captivity, these Christian missionaries face near starvation, constant exhaustion, frequent gun battles, coldhearted murder -- and intense soul-searching about a God who sometimes seemed to have forgotten them. In the Presence of My Enemies is a gripping firsthand account of faith, love, and struggle in the face of unnervingly casual brutality and terrible loss.

This updated edition of the memoir contains:

• Never-before-published information on the fates of the Burnhams' kidnappers

• Gracia's secret return to the Philippines

• What life and ministry is like today in the Burnham family

Be emboldened by this harrowing true story of forgiveness, perseverance, and sharing Christ's love in the darkest places.
