This book is a hugely respected account of the siege of the island of Malta during the early years of the Second World War. It is also a personal testimony to the difference which faith in Jesus Christ makes in a person’s life. It demonstrates how the Christian has a refuge in time of trouble: a God who delights to hear and answer prayer, and who works miracles on behalf of his people. It challenges anyone who has not considered the Christian gospel to examine its claims – not so much through arguments about what is the truth, but by the living witness of the impact of Jesus on the life of one soldier disciple.
