This book opened my eyes to the scale and extent of the suffering of the people of Burma, now called Myanmar, and to what is happening in that country today. Here are stories of amazing courage in times of adversity, where faith overcomes the deprivation that the Karen people face daily. We are reminded of our debt to those who supported the British sixty years ago to bring freedom to their country, only to be left now in their struggle to survive in a hostile environment. Too many are being driven out of their own country and democracy is still denied them. This book has inspired us to become involved in seeking to help them in any way we can.
