Kurzbeschreibung

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.

4 1/2 Stars . . . Dangerous Dilemmas 12. April 2009
Von Eric Wilson - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
When asked to read an advance copy of "The Missionary," I balked. Not only am I a fan of thrillers, but I've served on the mission field in a number of countries. What were the chances this story would satisfy my expectations on both levels? Reluctantly, I agreed to give it a read--and, boy, am I glad!

Carmichael and Lambert make a formidable team, introducing us quickly to missionary David Eller as he helps children on the streets of Caracas, Venezuela. What seems like an honorable but mostly tame existence changes when Eller agrees to a questionable scheme aimed at toppling a dictatorship. Against his wife's wishes, he becomes entangled to the point that he cannot get free. Even as commandos make a bold attempt on the dictator's life, Eller is framed as a co-conspirator, and he must go on the run. How can he save his family and his own skin, without further damaging his reputation in his wife's eyes and in God's?

The dilemmas in this story are believable and not always easy to answer. At what point does one take a stand against corruption? When should prayer turn into action? How should one respond when his or her spouse is less enthusiastic? The questions here range from small to large, personal to far-reaching. And best of all, they're all woven seamlessly into a fast-paced thriller.

I'm glad I gave "The Missionary" a chance.

Could not put it down 26. März 2009
Von James E. Bennett - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
This is the best novel I have read in years. Several times I had to remind myself that I was in fact reading a novel not a real life story. The writer captured my imagination completely. I have never been to the setting for this book, yet I could almost see the sites and even smell the smells.

The story line kept you thinking you knew what was about to happen, only to find yourself saying, I didn't see that coming, but it still all made so much since, you once again had to remind yourself that this was only a novel.

This is one you have to read. Great job and I hope there is more to come.

A Heartpounding and Soul-Stirring Read 26. März 2009
Von Daniel Darling - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
This is probably one of the best novels I've read in a while. The missionary is soul-stirring, heart-pounding journey thru the messy mix of mission work, espionage, and third-world politics.

David Eller is a flawed missionary whose tireless work in Venezuela has him itching to do more to bring justice to the country's poor. His impulsive actions lead him into more trouble than he bargained for, jeaopardizing his marriage and his mission.

Will Carmichael and David Lambert really deliver with tight writing, believable plot lines, complex characters, and nonstop drama. They take you inside the sad and sorid world of Venezuela's politics and policies, bleeding out a concern for the forgotten poor in a troubled part of the world.
