We Two Alone: Attack and Rescue in the Congo [Paperback]

Ruth Hege (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 1, 1998

The crash of breaking glass woke me. I knew instantly that the terrorists had broken into our mission. Thus Miss Hege was suddenly catapulted into the world spotlight through her harrowing four-day pursuit and her companion's murder by Congo terrorists. Her vivid personal account of playing a deadly game of hide-and-seek with communist-trained terrorists provides us with the first book-length narrative of terrorist raids on Congolese missionary compounds.

This review is from: We Two Alone: Attack and Rescue in the Congo (Paperback)

Ruth Hege depicts the story of serving God in the Congo in fluid, image-invoking words and phrases. It is a story of service, adventure, danger and true sacrifice. The unraveling of the facts as they are presented places the reader along side her as she serves the Lord. This true story is written by a courageous woman who was personally known to our family, who served God with determination and sacrifice. It is not just a story that should be read just by present day missionaries, but a story which everyone who reads it would be moved to do their part to help their fellow human being. I highly recommend this story!
