Freedom's Stand

FREEDOM'S STAND: The exciting sequel to VEILED FREEDOM! Kabul, Afghanistan - Jamil renounced a life of jihad when he encountered the life-changing message of Jesus Christ, but villagers and authorities in the hills of Afghanistan respond with skepticism . . . and even violence. Relief worker Amy Mallory is shocked by the changes in her organization - changes with dire implications for the women and children under her care. And concern for her former assistant, Jamil, weighs heavily on her heart. Former Special Forces veteran Steve Wilson faces off against the riots and corruption of Kabul’s upcoming election. He's looking for something that will give his life purpose but is confident that he won’t find it in Afghanistan. All three are searching for love and freedom in a country where political and religious injustice runs rampant. But when religious freedom becomes a matter of life and death, they discover that the cost of following Jesus may require the ultimate sacrifice. PRAISE FOR FREEDOM'S STAND “If you have ever wondered what life is like 'behind the veil' of Islam in Afghanistan, then Freedom's Stand will touch your heart like nothing else. It brings a message of hope for those whose lives are a desperate search for the reality of God.” - Dr. Carl Moeller, President and CEO of Open Doors USA “The vivid setting of Windle’s captivating page-turner captures the soul and struggle of the Afghan people. You can’t finish a Windle novel without being deeply moved and better informed about the world around you.” - Romantic Times In FREEDOM'S STAND Windle conveys well a beautiful land that has suffered under constant war, cruel and corrupt officials, and Islam . . . Windle's engrossing story doesn't offer easy answers, but it does show how the gospel empowers believers to live courageously amid bleak circumstances.” - World Magazine "Absolutely Riveting. Move over, Kite Runner, because FREEDOM'S STAND captures the life and culture of Afghanistan as if you are standing in the middle of Kabul, smelling the fires of rubber tires, listening to the Islamic call to prayer, wrapped in a burqa, while still offering a gripping message of hope and salvation. FREEDOM'S STAND is an absolute must read." - Susan May Warren, RITA award-winning author of My Foolish Heart "I've read several books about the terror and tumult in contemporary Afghanistan, but not until reading Jeanette Windle's FREEDOM'S STAND did I realize that Islam's honored prophet Isa Masih holds the answer for this blood-stained country. You may know the prophet as Yeshua or Jesus the Christ, but FREEDOM'S STAND beautifully illustrates how he brings inner peace by whatever name he is known." - Angela Hunt, bestselling author of The Fine Art of Insincerity "Jeanette’s characters capture the despair of what Afghanistan is and the hope of what it could be. Within the lives of three vastly different souls, she weaves a wonderfully believable tale about the unlikeliest coalition imaginable. But in the end they all seek the answer to the universal question of ‘what am I supposed to do now, Lord?’” - Joe DeCree, retired Army Special Forces major and private security contractor
