Counting the cost, kidnapping in the Niger Delta

British missionaries David and Shirley Donovan were running a health centre in Nigeria when a pounding on their bedroom door tipped their lives upside down. Threatened at gunpoint, held hostage and ransomed for a billion naira, they tell of the grace that allowed them to witness to their kidnappers in the midst of the chilling and disturbing realisation of what man is capable of.

I finished the book praising God for their courage, and even more, for His all–sufficient grace in our Lord Jesus Christ.
