Escape the Hezbollah

By Pola Marie Muzyka

Description:

Abducted into the newly formed Hezbollah army, a young American Christian fights for his life, his freedom, and the woman he loves when he defies a brutal regime during one of the most difficult times in Middle East history.

Escape the Hezbollah is a glorious story of how love can endure through the most cruel, hostile, and depraved environment imaginable. Friends begin to go missing and rumors surface. Some of Joseph s friends are never heard from again. Joseph becomes entrapped in the mystery of his friends disappearances when, one day after work, he and his friend, Fareed, are forcibly thrown into the backseat of a black Nissan and abducted. The two young men are forced to join a ruthless militia.

This military, formed by the IRG to protect Lebanon from invasion by the Israelis, contradicts its credence. Joseph witnesses the most horrific sins that man can inflict upon another human being and he wants out. He thinks his Maker has abandoned him and he questions God s very existence, ultimately doubting his own faith.

After grueling years of enduring this military life, escape, and concealment, a way opens up for him to safely flee the country and eventually return to the U.S.

Book Takeaway:

So that Christians would pray for them. Don't let them die without knowing we care about them and love them. Understand that some, if not most of the persecutors don't get it. They don't know what they are doing. As Jesus said, "Father forgive them for they know not what they do."

Why the author wrote this book:

I wanted to let the world know that no matter what we are going through God does not abandon us. People reading the book started to question their own faith. Would they continue to believe if they were faced with what the heroes faced? My goal was to make the reality of the persecution come alive - to let people glimpse the humanity of those facing persecution in foreign lands. These are our brothers and sisters in Christ who are dying because of their faith.
