Counting the Cost

British missionaries David and Shirley Donovan were completing one of their regular trips to a health Centre in Nigeria when a pounding on their bedroom door changed their lives - forever. Having being threatened at gunpoint, taken and held hostage and ransomed for a billion naire. In this book, they tell of the grace that allowed them to witness to their kidnappers, in the midst of the chilling and disturbing realisation of the depths to which man is Capable of descending.
