Resumen del Editor

The CIA is looking for walking contradictions. Recruiters seek people who can keep a secret, yet pull classified information out of others; who love their country, but are willing to leave it behind to head into dangerous places; who live double lives, but can be trusted with some of the nation's most highly sensitive tasks.

Michele Rigby Assad was one of those people.

As a CIA agent, Michele soon found that working undercover was an all-encompassing job. The threats were real. The mission was a perilous one. Trained as a counterterrorism expert, Michele spent over a decade in the agency - a woman leading some of the most highly skilled operatives on the planet, secretly serving in some the most treacherous areas of the Middle East. But deep inside, Michele wondered: Could she really do this job? Was she in the right place at the right time, or had she misunderstood what she thought was God's calling on her life? Did she have what it would take to survive?

The answer came when Michele faced a life-or-death choice - one that had secretly been the plan for her all along. In Breaking Cover, Michele has at last been cleared to drop cover and tell her story: one of incredible struggle; of thwarted plans and expectations; and most of all, of discovering a faith greater than all her fears.

Amazing and Fascinating!

Michelle kept me on the edge of my feet. Her story is intriguing and inspiring. I finished the book feeling inspired to do more with my life!

Life altering book

I cannot begin to describe on how emotional moved I am by this book. Thank you, Michelle, for sharing your story. I’ve inspired me to do more with my life and get of the X.

Good story, bad book

This was a story worth telling but it is not written well. It is repetitive, full of cliches (religious and otherwise) and much too self-conscious. I finished it since it was for book club but turned it off several times because It was so annoying.

Definitely worth a listen.

Very interesting story and quite different than expected. Held my attention the entire time and great to know people like this exist in the world.

Fascinating true story.

If you could sum up Breaking Cover in three words, what would they be?

Amazing what this woman accomplished in the CIA after thinking everyone else was smarter than she was. Trusting always in God for his work in her life. Working together with her husband in some of the worst places and conditions in the world.

What does Michele Rigby Assad bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Having felt many times that I wasn't as smart as other people after starting work in a man's field and succeeding. Knowing that other women have felt the same.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

yes

Amazing human along with the power of prayer

I normally don’t write that many reviews, however this is a special read for all those that have struggled or lost faith. I am power to have these types of people serving our country and humanity.

Enjoyed every chapter and very grateful for the opportunity to learn from Michelle's experiences. My family was inspired even from hearing the stories second hand from me.

Incredible!

I will be recommending this book to all of my friends! The words and phrases that I believe can be used to describe this book: Captivating, encouraging, a call to action, a reminder to trust the God who can handle all things, heart wrenching and heart warming. Michele - Thank you for your service and for sharing your story! I will be praying for your continued work and for our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ.
