With laughter and tears, Gracia takes her readers to some of the things God taught her after she and her husband lived a year in the jungle as hostages of an Islamic terrorist group. "To Fly Again" is basically spiritual lessons Gracia learned from her jungle captivity ordeal. This is theology fleshed out. Sadly, I detect three theological problems that are subtly implied in the volume: (1) limitation of the justice of God, (2) sketchy view of forgiveness (related to the limitation of God'south justice), and (3) Keswick sanctification. These problems, still, are not explicitly stated and are only seen in a page or 2.
Other than those bug, this book is encouraging, comforting, challenging, and definitely entertaining. This book is truly a approval! I suggest reading "In the Presence of My Enemies" outset before reading this one.

And so much exhortation packed in such a curt book! much dog-earring of pages occurred. That being said,I strongly disagree with folio 91 where it says, "I forgive you...and yous need to forgive yourself."

After having attended an outcome at which Gracia Burnham was speaking about her life since her captivity and the death of her married man Martin, I was eager to read this book. The author is honest about herself, her grief, her struggles, her joy and thanksgiving in life and her characteristic humor! What an encouragement to anyone who is going through or has gone through cracking trial and tragedy. God is faithful! Like shooting fish in a barrel to read, with excellent application.
Gracia Burnham shares her journey through adversity, living through information technology with a focus on Christ and the joy He gives. She suffered tremendously that year she was held captive in the jungle,notwithstanding she has a wonderful, positive mental attitude and no bitterness in her heart. Few of u.s.a. volition ever have to deal with affliction of that severity, withal we all accept difficult times. This volume helps the reader to have a more realistic focus of the struggles nosotros have in life. A must-read for all of usa!

Gracia Burnham has written a follow-up to her In the Presence of my Enemies in which she spent a year-long captivity and death of her husband to Phillipine terrorists.This was an like shooting fish in a barrel, quick read reminder of forgivenss, love, and moving on. I wasn't expecting a deep theological read, merely rather an everyday woman who is trying to bargain with what happened to her (and her husband) and how to go on with life.
