Soldier of Hope

Soldier of Hope: A POW Survival Story in Afghanistan, is a Christian, action-suspense novella by D.I. Telbat. After six years in Taliban captivity, Army Ranger Jeffrey Grant runs for his life in an effort to return to his praying family in America. Though the US government believes he's dead, Jeff is far from being KIA. He has thrived in confinement as a porter for the militants.

But escaping and evading his Taliban captors is not so easy in Afghanistan. The militants are armed and bloodthirsty, and the terrain is unforgiving. Deep gorges and forgotten minefields, raging rivers and dangerous goat trails, are just a few of the obstacles Jeff must surmount as bullets zip past.

Trained as an honorable soldier, Jeff casts his every effort before God, praying to stay alive long enough to see his family again. Have they forgotten him as the government has? As a soldier of hope, Jeff believes that God has a plan for him beyond the torment and torture.
