It is 1969, and Jim Simmons, one year out of the Military Academy and fresh out of Special Forces training, is headed to Vietnam, where he is quickly faced with an ethical challenge when a spy is discovered in headquarters. Walter Mueller, a senior US State Department diplomat, is assigned to Nicaragua and is joined by his family. His wife and daughter open a medical clinic for the poor but soon discover that the Sandinistas want the Americans to leave. Ramon Morales, a seasoned Sandinista haunted by the abuse of his family by the Samozas, is ordered to kidnap a busload of children. Love from the Ashes of a Broken World follows their lives as war and terrorism challenge their understanding of God's love, forgiveness, and redemption. Endorsement by two theologians: "I'm glad that I finished, but sad that it's over. This is so good!" "Your story drew us in! Really, so very well done! I think you succeeded in your purpose of writing "about God and our relationship to him." Any follower of Jesus who enjoys military stories would enjoy this book. And anyone who has struggled with guilt and the need for forgiveness and to forgive would benefit from reading the strong biblical answers laid out in the context of a story about someone else experiencing those struggles. This was really good." Endorsement by a Green Beret Vietnam veteran: "I found this to be a very enjoyable and believable story."
