His parachute barely opens before impact, saving his life, but the hard landing snaps both of his ankles. Unable to walk, Captain Millar is easily captured by North Korean and Chinese soldiers. His captors interrogate, threaten, and starve him in an attempt to extract strategic wartime information. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe stalls the inevitable by feeding the enemy false information, but it's only a matter of time before they discover his lies. Millar plots a bold, seemingly impossible plan to escape. He knows it will take a miracle to pull it off, but he's not sure if praying to a higher power would even work. He wishes he had faith like his wife, whose firm belief in God can move mountains. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Barbara Millar receives a telegram informing her that her husband is missing in action behind enemy lines, her family and friends accept the grim reality that Ward is almost certainly dead. Yet Barbara, a woman of deep and sustaining faith, refuses to believe it. She still feels his presence and their connection as strongly as ever. She is certain her husband will return, but she doesn't know how the war and his ordeal might have changed him. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNorth Korean soldier Kim Jae Pil was raised to believe in the power of prayer, but because the Communist Party kills or imprisons any religious group they perceive as a threat to their power and influence, Kim and his family must keep their Christian faith secret. He has been anxious to return to his family and then escape across the border to South Korea. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith Millar still imprisoned and unable to walk, and the North Korean army becoming increasingly suspicious of Kim's actions, it seems impossible that either man will find the freedom they so desperately desire. But when these wartime foes cross paths, they find in each other an unlikely ally. Despite speaking different languages, Millar and Kim find common ground in their fragile faith and must rely on each other to undertake a daring escape. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePraying with the Enemy\u003c\/i\u003e is a story of courage, determination, unlikely friendship, and enduring faith.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteven T.
