Lieutenant Owen Masters is also an American spy who has been in the British navy for years, trying to get information to help his country win the war. He also has a wrong perception of God, seeing Him as an unbending,authoritarian figure. His opinions were formed by his father, who was a legalistic, harsh, preacher, who let both his family and the church down very badly.
It is a sensitively told story of courage, forgiveness and loyalty, and also God's grace, protection and leading. We see Emeline's compassionate nature as she doctors both friend and enemy with the same zeal.
We see the horrors of war, where men kill one another for "freedom", compared to the true freedom that the Father offers us in Christ.
It is a really enjoyable book, with deep truth underlying the exciting story. I recommend it as a really good read.
