To Fly Again: Surviving the Tailspins of Life

By Dean Merrill and Gracia Burnham

Book Overview

The world learned the horrendous details of Martin and Gracia Burnham's yearlong captivity in Gracia's book, In the Presence of My Enemies. To Fly Again, Gracia's reflections on the lessons and spiritual truths she learned in the jungle, contains 21 brief, theme-based chapters that squarely address the challenges each of us face when we lose control of some aspect of life. This book offers no pat answers or easy solutions, just the battle-tested wisdom of a woman who lived her greatest nightmare and came through it more convinced of God's grace than ever before. Even those unfamiliar with her dramatic story will be engaged by Gracia's insights on surviving life's unexpected crises.

Gift that inspires

I presented this book to a friend who had been going through some rough times psychologically. I browsed through the book prior to giving to her and I know that she will be greatly enlightened by its contents.

Heartwarming story

This was a beautifully written book. When you start it, you do not want to quit until you get done. A very hearwarming story told from the heart.

To Fly Again--read it again and again

Not many books make me want to keep them to re-read later but this one did! Gracia offers a lot of wisdom from the lessons she has learned as a hostage, wife, widow and mother. Yet she does so in a down to earth way that makes you feel like you are talking to a neighbor from down the street. Get one to keep for reading when you are going through tough times--and one to give to a friend. Gracia's thoughts on how to focus on God's grace in the midst of turmoil offer a lot of comfort and practical advice.
