Book excerpt: In 1993, Andrew Brunson was asked to travel to Turkey, the largest unevangelized country in the world, to serve as a missionary. Though hesitant because of the daunting and dangerous task that lay ahead, Andrew and his wife, Norine, believed this was God's plan for them. What followed was a string of threats and attacks, but also successes in starting new churches in a place where many people had never met a Christian. As their work with refugees from Syria, including Kurds, gained attention and suspicion, Andrew and Norine acknowledged the threat but accepted the risk, determining to stay unless God told them to leave. In 2016, they were arrested. Though the State eventually released Norine, who remained in Turkey, Andrew was imprisoned. Accused of being a spy and being among the plotters of the attempted coup, he became a political pawn whose story soon became known around the world. God's Hostage is the incredible true story of his imprisonment, his brokenness, and his eventual freedom. Anyone with a heart for missions, especially to the Muslim world, will love this tension-laden and faith-laced book.

Download or read book The Quabeca Sheikhs Series written by Leslie North and published by Relay Publishing. This book was released on with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sheikh’s Furious Prisoner Saja is summoned back home to the province of Quabeca, and is to be forced into a marriage with Prince Basil Al-Qadir. But Saja is not interested in marriage, even if her betrothed is extremely attractive and wealthy. The Prince has the jawline of a Greek god, is strikingly tall and his muscular figure would intimidate most, but not Saja. After meeting the man for only two minutes she already hates him. He is controlling, argumentative and insufferably arrogant, yet, his dark broody eyes hold an intensity that Saja struggles to pull back from. Prince Al-Qadir has never met a woman like Saja; she is almost from a different species. She wears improper clothing, behaves inappropriately, and has no traditional values. And she does not fear him. In fact, her temper often flares around him. She needs taming, yet he can’t help but notice the feeling that surfaces in his groin when she is around, and the loneliness he feels when she isn’t. Until he has tamed her, he refuses to let her go. But this may be a game he loses, and the Prince never loses. The Sheikh’s Reluctant Hostage Saja has finally met her match. She can’t deny her attraction for Prince Basil Al-Qadir. She has never felt so vulnerable around her towering lover. He makes her go weak at the knees with just a touch or a kiss. When he spoke in his deep, husky voice everyone listened. He was a man to be respected – but that didn’t matter to Saja. She wasn’t afraid to challenge a Prince. Nobody has ever stood up to the Prince before – least of all a woman, even if she is stunningly beautiful. Saja’s stubbornness and refusal to submit to traditional standards only escalates his interest in her. But as a sworn bachelor, he never usually keeps women around long enough for anything emotional to develop – but Saja is different. He has never felt such a strong attraction to a woman before. The Prince is letting his walls down for the first time and every day his feelings for Saja grow deeper and deeper. Then Saja is ripped from his life and held hostage by his sworn enemy. After finally finding love, will the Prince be able to rescue his bride? The Sheikh’s Secret Princess The King has two choices—follow the rules, or follow his heart.

Download or read book Hostages in the Middle Ages written by Adam J. Kosto and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-06-21 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In medieval Europe hostages were given, not taken. They were a means of guarantee used to secure transactions ranging from treaties to wartime commitments to financial transactions. In principle, the force of the guarantee lay in the threat to the life of the hostage if the agreement were broken but, while violation of agreements was common, execution of hostages was a rarity. Medieval hostages are thus best understood not as simple pledges, but as a political institution characteristic of the medieval millennium, embedded in its changing historical contexts. In the Early Middle Ages, hostageship was principally seen in warfare and diplomacy, operating within structures of kinship and practices of alliance characteristic of elite political society. From the eleventh century, hostageship diversified, despite the spread of a legal and financial culture that would seem to have made it superfluous. Hostages in the Middle Ages traces the development of this institution from Late Antiquity through the period of the Hundred Years War, across Europe and the Mediterranean World. It explores the logic of agreements, the identity of hostages, and the conditions of their confinement, while shedding light on a wide range of subjects, from sieges and treaties, to captivity and ransom, to the Peace of God and the Crusades, to the rise of towns and representation, to political communication and shifting gender dynamics. The book closes by examining the reasons for the decline of hostageship in the Early Modern era, and the rise the modern variety of hostageship that was addressed by the Nuremberg tribunals and the United Nations in the twentieth century.

Download or read book Negotiating with Terrorists written by Guy Olivier Faure and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-02-25 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume addresses the important issue of negotiating with terrorists, and offers recommendations for best practice and processes. Hostage negotiation is the process of trying to align two often completely polarised parties. Authorities view hostage taking as unacceptable demands made by unacceptable means. However terrorists view their actions as completely justified, even on moral and religious grounds. If they are to try and reconcile these two sides, it is essential for hostage negotiators to understand terrorist culture, the hostage takers’ profiles, their personality, their view of the world and also the authorities, their values and their framing of the problem raised by the taking of hostages. Although not advocating negotiating with terrorists, the volume seeks to analyse when, why, and how it is done. Part I deals with the theory and quantifiable data produced from analysis of hostage situations, while Part II explores several high profile case studies and the lessons that can be learnt from them. This volume will be of great interest to students of terrorism studies, conflict management, negotiation, security studies and IR in general.
