In late 2006, Saket Soni, a 28-year-old, Indian-born community organizer received an anonymous phone call from an Indian migrant worker inside a Mississippi labor camp. He and 500 other men were living in squalor in Gulf Coast “man camps,” surrounded by barbed wire, watched by armed guards, crammed into cold trailers with putrid portable toilets, forced to eat moldy bread and frozen rice. Worse, lured by the promise of good work and green cards, the men had desperately scraped together up to $20,000 each to apply for this “opportunity”.

The Why in Suffering
- By BigPapi on 03-05-21
By: Andrew Brunson, and others
Publisher's summary
""One of our highest rated shows! Riveting!" (MSNBC Dateline Special)
God and I had never really been that close. I had never prayed before in times of need. When I tried talking to him, my thoughts and words for prayer felt awkward and slightly dishonest. Besides, I thought, God didn't really come into a place like this. He waited outside.
Captain of one of the world's megayachts, Michael Churchward was suddenly arrested and thrown into a Turkish prison for a crime he did not commit. This is the story of a man's journey through a labyrinth of injustice and corruption in two foreign countries and three despicable prisons, fighting for his life. A story of endurance, survival, and the human spirit.
About the Author
Captain Churchward has spent most of his adult life working and living all over the world. A master mariner, he has captained vessels to remote parts of the globe.
For some of his voyages, he's considered a pioneer in the mega-yacht industry. Traveling the world's oceans has given Churchward extraordinary adventures and stories.
This is one he felt he must tell.

In 1993, Andrew Brunson was asked to travel to Turkey, the largest unevangelized country in the world, to serve as a missionary. Though hesitant because of the daunting and dangerous task that lay ahead, Andrew and his wife, Norine, believed this was God's plan for them. What followed was a string of threats and attacks, but also successes in starting new churches in a place where many people had never met a Christian. As their work with refugees from Syria, gained attention and suspicion, Andrew and Norine acknowledged the threat but accepted the risk.

Groping for answers in the face of tragedy, Jason is determined to find the one person left who might provide healing: the granddaughter kept hidden from him.

In 1999, Quan Huynh shot and killed another man in a gang-related incident in Hollywood, California. He received a prison sentence of 15 years to life in a state that, at the time, did not parole prisoners with life sentences. Behind bars, Quan continued his downward spiral. This could have been the end of the story for Quan, as it is for many prisoners. But somewhere along the way, he discovered a new path - one that prompted him to commit to self-reflection, truth, and personal responsibility.

Born in China’s northwestern province, Sayragul Sauytbay trained as a doctor before being appointed a senior civil servant. But her life was upended when the Chinese authorities incarcerated her.
