Seized by Bandits

Description

“It was a terrible moment when they sprang at us from their ambush by the roadside, a band of some twenty strong, armed to the teeth and the very embodiment of all we had been hearing about brigands in province after province. So it had come at last! Much as we had heard of brigands, we never imagined they could be so alarming as the band that rushed upon us with wild excitement at that bend of the road among the trees.” And so began a long captivity filled with spiritual lessons and faith-stretching difficulty.
