Book MYView: The Missionary by William Carmichael and David Lambert

David Eller is an American missionary in Venezuela, married to missionary nurse Christie. Together they rescue homeless children in Caracas. But for David, that isn’t enough. The supply of homeless children is endless because of massive poverty and the oppressive policies of the Venezuelan government, led by the Hugo Chavez-like Armando Guzman.

In a moment of anger, David publicly rails against the government, unaware that someone dangerous might be listening—a revolutionary looking for recruits. David falls into an unimaginable nightmare of espionage, ending in a desperate, life-or-death gamble to flee the country with his wife and son, with all the resources of a corrupt dictatorship at their heels.

My thoughts: Run don't walk to the nearest store to get this book! What?? You're still here reading? Well, since I'm on a semi hiatus, I'll briefly offer you my thoughts: This is an exhilarating, edge-of-your-seat ride that will have you wondering what you'd do in similar situations. Fans of action-packed thrillers will not be disappointed. Also, if you're a fan of Jeanette Windle's books, an author who exposes truths about corrupt governments, you'll definitely enjoy this story. I'm hoping for an second installment.
