Synopsis

Find something to believe in... Jamil renounced a life of jihad when he encountered the life-changing message of Jesus Christ. But his new mission as an itinerant health worker in the hills of Afghanistan is met with skepticism and even violence. Returning to Kabul, 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. Special Forces veteran Steve Wilson faces off against the riots and corruption of Afghanistan’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.

Goodreads review by Christine on June 06, 2011

There are books that are entertaining, and others that are important. And then there are books that are wonderfully both. It is no wonder that Freedom’s Stand by Jeanette Windle has just been nominated for the Golden Scroll Award. I wish I could rate this book highter than a 5. Freedom’s Stand is se......more

Goodreads review by Renee on May 19, 2011

What do a former suicide bomber, a relief worker, and a special forces veteran have in common? They’re all trying to live out the call of Isa Masih in the war-torn land of Afghanistan. Not familiar with Isa Masih? You probably know Him by another name: Jesus the Messiah. Jamil, Amy Mallory, and Steve......more
