kabul 24

Kabul 24 by Henry Arnold and Ben Pearson
Kabul 24 is a visit to Afghanistan before many people in America knew who the Taliban was and what it stood for. A great story of personal conviction and internal determination, Kabul 24, tells the story of eight SNI aid workers capture and imprisonment in a Taliban region. I love books like this that take you away from your current situation and place you in the middle of a war far away from your cozy couch. No matter what is asked from the captives, they maintain an overwhelming sense of hope and faith that sees them through this event. A chilling and haunting tale, Kabul 24 is a great read for anyone interested in stories about human triumph or stories about faith in challenging situations.
