Freedom's Stand

By Jeanette Windle

Description:

Jamil renounced a life of jihad when he encountered the life-changing message of Isa Masih [Jesus Christ]. But his new mission as an itinerant health worker among the hills of Afghanistan is met with skepticism and even violence.

Returning to Afghanistan, relief worker Amy Mallory is shocked by the changes in her organization—changes with dire implications for the women and children under her care. And concern for her former assistant, Jamil, weighs heavily on her heart. Former Special Forces veteran Steve Wilson faces off against the riots and corruption of Kabul's upcoming election. He's looking for something that will give his life purpose but is confident that he won't find it in Afghanistan.

All three are searching for love and freedom. But in a country where political and religious injustice runs rampant, the cost of either may be higher than they realize. Will any one of them be willing to pay the ultimate price?
