  The Shining Path was once one of the most feared guerrilla movements in the world. Over a 19-year period, more than 30,000 people died as a result of its activity. The author chronicles the suffering of evangelical Christians and the strides that were made towards peace and healing in the midst of a harsh civil war. The book follows the story of four groups of people, including a missionary family who survived a traumatic Shining Path kidnapping and later encountered one of their captors, now a Christian. These stories intertwine so that, by the end, the reader has gained a four-part perspective on the Shining Path insurrection.
