      True story of being kidnapped for ransom by guerrillas in Colombia. Russell tells of the lessons he learned and how he was able to witness to those that held him captive. His story is one of which we all can learn from. The terror began on August 14, 1983. American bush pilot Russell Stendal, on routine business, landed his plane in a remote Colombian village. Gunfire exploded throughout the town and within minutes Russell's 142-day ordeal had begun. The guerrilla fighters explained that this was a kidnapping for ransom and that he would be held until payment was made. Held at gunpoint deep in the jungle and with little else to occupy his time, Russell began to write. He told the story of his life and kept a record of his experience in the guerrilla camp. His "book" became a bridge to the men who held him and now serves as the basis for this incredible true story of how God's love penetrated a physical and ideological jungle.
