“I’ll do anything—I’ll even preach!” As a boy, Dave cut a deal with God to save his life. Decades later, Dave and his friends are on his final street-preaching trip. “Jesus came for all, so we should go to all!” With that attitude, Dave fights spiritual resistance as he and his young family endeavor to leave the life they’ve known and join a team of missionaries stationed in an increasingly militant Islamic country. “God’s calling is clear,” Dave’s pastor reassures him. Yet Dave is unaware of how catastrophic his sin will be . . . or the dangers his children will face . . . or how deep the calling will go . . . in the land where shadows hide the sun.

There was commotion everywhere. People were getting dressed or looking for things. The atmosphere was unreal, unbelievable. I know they all felt the same as I. A rope was tightening around everyone's neck-the end has come. It is like seeing the angel of death manifest in the form of a policeman. No one among us spoke. Except for the rustle of everyone getting ready to go, it was quiet. We were living a nightmare. It could not be real, but it was and yet I refused to believe it. Somehow, at least in me, there was a spark of hope. I pretended to look for things, all the while my mind raced through the possibilities, the ideas of escape, running away, or somehow just disappearing. I was desperate because my immediate chances were poor. I couldn't see myself leaving this house with the rest of the group. One thought ran over and over in my mind, I must get out of this mess.
