During a perilous year in captivity, they faced near starvation, constant exhaustion, frequent gun battles, coldhearted murder--and intense soul-searching about a God who sometimes seemed to have forgotten them. <i>In the Presence of My Enemies</i> is a gripping firsthand account of faith, love, and struggle in the face of unnervingly casual brutality and terrible loss. <br/>This updated edition contains never-before-published information on the fates of the Burnhams' kidnappers, Gracia's secret return trip to the Philippines, and life today in the Burnham family.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>The Burnhams, under torturous conditions, befriended their guards, comforted their fellow hostages and kept their faith in a God who seemed to have abandoned them.--USA Today<br>
