Love Your Enemies

It is one thing to think back to the time when Jews and Samaritans were enemies and to try and understand what the act of kindness in Jesus' "Good Samaritan" parable meant. It is another to read the story of a doctor who was kidnapped by the taliban and came to realize that they were in many ways products of circumstance. They didn't know anything other than the life they were living. He even grew to love his captors, in some real sense of the term.
Not only did this book capture my attention, but it kept me wanting to read more and inspired me to want to be a better person.
The story is of a doctor with roots in India but current residence in the United States who makes trips to Afghanistan as a health director with a Morning Star Development. On one of those trips, the vehicle he is in gets stopped and he and his 2 native co-workers get captured by a group of mujahideen. In his book, Dr. Dilip Joseph recounts his thoughts and feelings throughout his captivity with the taliban and rescue by Seal Team 6.
I would recommend this book to just about everybody and am thankful to BookLook Bloggers for providing this book to me free for review.
