This touching story is an illustration of how God's love for you will always overcome.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Gripping True Story of War and Romance, Hope and Miracles<br/><br/></b>When the odds are impossible, love goes to work. In this thrilling true-life story, readers follow the path of friendship that grows into a romance that spans continents and survives devastating hardship. Craig Keener, a respected white scholar, was cautious after a broken relationship. Médine, a well-educated African woman, met Craig through a campus ministry and the two became friends. Long after they parted for their respective worlds, Craig realized his love for her and began the arduous--and often supernatural--journey to be reunited. Médine faced terror and disease as a refugee in the war-torn Congo; Craig did not know most days if she was alive or dead. Their tender story of love beating the odds inspires readers to believe that God's own great love for each of us will always overcome.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><b>A Gripping, True-Life Love Story!<br/><br/></b>Shy, scholarly Craig Keener first met Médine, a beautiful Ph.D. student from central Africa, through a campus ministry at Duke University.

Médine faced terror, disease and devastating hardship--and Craig didn't know if she was alive or dead.<br/><br/>Separated by continents, cultures and the ravages of war, Craig and Médine never stopped believing that faith, hope and love can surmount even the most overwhelming obstacles.
