A Time To Live, A Time To Die

This book emerges from a heart of terror and courage, and is a poignant lesson in the power of faith. This translates into a fast moving inspirational story where lives are saved against impossible odds. The author shows the reader the tragedy of war torn Bosnia, at a time when ignorance, suspicion and fear were stirred into racial hatred, which quickly degenerated into the vicious circle of ethnic warfare. Many readers will take great comfort in the author's fortitude and marvel at her ability to see rays of hope penetrating the darkest clouds. She conveys the tragedy of Bosnia and demonstrates how, when tough love is put into action even when surrounded by pain and hatred, one can make a small contribution on the side of good. This true story offers hope to victims of violence by helping them to realise that others are prepared to make great sacrifices in order to ease their suffering and, in this case, save lives against impossible odds. It is the quality of child-like faith in God which helped the author and her husband through the darkest of hours, and which makes this such a potent story, because religion only becomes truly meaningful when it can be seen to be working in peoples lives, and making a difference.
