CAPTURED! pulses with all the drama of a novel, yet is the true story of real people caught in the crossfire of war and revolution. From the frightening explosion of bombs around their home in Vietnam to the triumphant welcome on their return to the United States, missionary Carolyn Miller tells of her family's capture and eight months of internment as prisoners of the Liberation Armed Forces–the Vietcong.
The author and her husband, Wycliffe Bible Translators, devoted fourteen years to the translation of the New Testament into the language of the Bru tribes people of Vietnam. As Saigon was about to fall, they and their five-year-old daughter, LuAnne, were captured by the conquering soldiers from the North. Mrs. Miller's first-hand account of their hardships, deprivation and testing is an intensely personal witness of a young wife and mother struggling to preserve her family and her faith under extreme circumstances. CAPTURED! is a powerful testimony to how God's Word ministered to Carolyn Miller and her family with rebuke, instruction, comfort and hope, leading all to a deeper commitment and dependence on the Lord.
