About this book

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.
