The story of the Taipei hostage crisis that became one of Taiwan's biggest news stories ever, these events thrust the Alexander family into the media spotlight. 
Colonel McGill Alexander was serving as a South African diplomat in Taiwan in the late 1990s. His family felt safe there - until Taiwan's most-wanted criminal, Chen Chin-hsing, broke into their home and held them at gunpoint, using the diplomatic family as pawns in a desperate effort to free his imprisoned wife. Used as human shields during a gun battle between the killer and the trigger-happy Taiwanese police, McGill and his daughter, Melanie, were shot. After a grueling 26 hours, the entire family was freed. Chen was captured and found guilty of multiple crimes. 
The book includes on-the-scene news photos as well as personal, behind-the-scenes photos. 
As Christian believers, the Alexanders showed Taiwan and the rest of the world a stunning example of Christ's forgiveness in the midst of terror, violence and revenge. 
A re-enactment of this hostage crisis was broadcast by National Geographic Channel in their Locked Up Abroad series of docudramas (2008).

During the time of Jesus' earthly life, a young wife and mother named Joakima delights herself in her husband and young son while dreaming of a promised Deliverer, as many Jewish women before her. When trauma and tragedy break into her life, they leave her broken, bitter, and filled with shame. Her suffering is intensified by the crushing weight of religious regulations and the chafing yoke of political oppression. During a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, a seed of hope is planted deep within her heart through the compassion of an extraordinary youth. Then the words of the prophet Isaiah begin to come alive to Joakima. The eyes of compassion and the words of release even visit her dreams until, years later, she comes face-to-face with Love Himself. This debut novel delves into the pathos of 1st Century Israel and explores the psychological, spiritual, and relational conflicts suggested in Luke chapter 13. The scriptures briefly describe the bent-over woman who could not 'in any way' look upward. A 'spirit of infirmity' had kept her bound for eighteen long years, looking downward. Yet Jesus called her a 'daughter of Abraham', indicating her faith. The author has given the name 'Joakima' to this broken, spirit-oppressed woman who is unnamed in the Bible. This dramatic healing in the religious meeting place was immediately and strongly opposed. All the threads of longings, conflicts, false hopes and real hopes that weave throughout the novel, come together in the climax--in sometimes surprising ways.

It began at the age of 9 when a friend invited him over to look at his father's girlie magazines. Though raised in a Christian home, ten years later he was viewing X-rated videos which fed an insatiable lust that began looking for an opportunity to act out. Jake Porter found that opportunity in Mediterranean ports while serving as an aviation ordnanceman aboard the USS America. At a time when the Gulf War was unfolding, Jake should have been totally committed to God and country. However, the seedy world of pornography and prostitution sabotaged his Christian life and made his commitment to the Navy a low priority. Even later, as a regular church-going civilian, he was haunted by his sins. Porter doesn't pull any punches in this true story. He finally learned that complete honesty is a key factor in breaking free of the bondages of sexual sin. From its riveting opening scene to its explosive surprise ending, this hard-hitting story takes the reader from the Persian Gulf War zone and the gritty underworld of prostitution to the glory of God's saving grace.

First published in Russia to critical acclaim, and here presented in a vivid English translation, is a spiritual memoir by a Russian author portraying the journey of her youth as the orphaned child of a Jewish father and an Orthodox mother, both of whom chose Communist atheism. During World War II, her childhood included exile to Siberia, even though her Jewish father was a Soviet scientist. Written in a literary style, Marianna chronicles, in dream-like sequences, her search for truth, a journey of understanding the times, and of spiritual discovery. Vekhova's profound, poignant writing style expresses both the anguish and the wonder of her childhood as well as the mature insights given her beyond her age and circumstances. For readers interested in World War II, Russian and Jewish heritage, Russian ethos, spiritual journeys, triumph over adversity, and a view of the world from a perceptive woman's eyes from her childhood in a Siberian TB Sanatorium until the time she walked into a near-deserted Orthodox Church in Moscow and embraced the mystery of God. Literary allusions in Vekhova's story remind us of the recurring theme in Russian literature of suffering, often as a means of redemption. Paper Poppies shows an example of the suffering of the Russian people and an affirmation that the light of hope has not gone out.
