Colombia has been known as a land of violence – Colombian people have reacted to the Gospel of Jesus Christ by cursing the messengers, beating them, kidnapping them, killing them and burning down their houses. But from those burnings have shot out sparks and flames and laser beams of light, as the Gospel has continued to shine forth in the midst of darkness. God has delivered people from burning houses. God has healed the ones who cursed. God has even rescued kidnappers. Read fourteen true stories of the Light of the World shining in the land of Colombia, South America. Extraordinary stories of faithful Christian missionaries taking the Gospel of Jesus Christ to Colombians eager to hear it .. . In this, the fifth book in the "Hidden Heroes" series, author Rebecca Davis once again shares in clear and simple prose unforgettable stories of the power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This book, along with the other "Hidden Heroes" books, is a remarkable tool for sharing the Gospel and for sharing the stories of dedicated men and women who have followed Jesus into difficult places for the glory of God. ★★★★★ --Kindle Customer, Amazon Reviewer This book is a powerful reminder of how great the God we serve is. The stories in this book truly make us see that He is far more powerful and more real than our weak selves can realize at times. My heart beat fast and my eyes filled with tears as I read the stories of how our God moves in our favor to reach us at all costs. ★★★★★ --Anna Leonard, Amazon Reviewer We loved this book just as we have loved each of the Hidden Heroes books! This book contains fascinating stories of how the gospel has gone forth in Colombia in spite of much opposition. . . The thing that excites me the most is seeing our children getting excited about what God is doing around the world, and I believe these books inspire them and plant that seed of desire to be a part of God's work. Thank you, Rebecca Davis, for bringing these stories to us! ★★★★★ --Revelation3 and 4, Amazon Reviewer This was exactly the kind of book I was looking for for my kids, to inspire and encourage them. I am excited to see that it wasn't dumbed down for kids, it is real and true. My kids begged me every night not to stop reading. These stories have inspired my girls to tell others about Jesus and be bold for the call on their lives. I am telling all my friends about these books! --Jen, mother of four Rebecca Davis lives in Greenville, South Carolina, where she loves to research and write true stories for children and their families about God's great work all over the world.
