Book Description
American missionaries Jean Phillips and her husband Gene lived through some of the most harrowing moments in African history of the last half century--through unthinkable hardships that would have caused most people to abandon their cause.
Tested and tried with more than any Christian could be expected to endure, these servants refused to allow Satan to send them packing back to America.
From the Rhodesian civil war to bush country living, to an abduction that almost took their lives, the Phillipses learned the dependability of God's rescue again and again.
When all else seemed to fail them, God came through-- sparing their lives, answering their prayers, making a way through the darkest nights, meeting their special family needs, and helping them sing praises depsite one frightening, traumatic episode after another.
Walk with this inspiring couple through those harrowing years when they were literally refined by the African fires blazing around them.
