Find something to believe in... Jamil renounced a life of jihad when he encountered the life-changing message of Jesus Christ. But his new mission as an itinerant health worker in the hills of Afghanistan is met with skepticism and even violence. Returning to Kabul, relief worker Amy Mallory is shocked by the changes in her organization—changes with dire implications for the women and children under her care. And concern for her former assistant Jamil weighs heavily on her heart. Special Forces veteran Steve Wilson faces off against the riots and corruption of Afghanistan’s upcoming election. He’s looking for something that will give his life purpose but is confident that he won’t find it in Afghanistan. All three are searching for love and freedom. But in a country where political and religious injustice runs rampant, the cost of either may be higher than they realize.

"In short: I LOVED this book! I was already impressed with this book's predecessor, "Veiled Freedom", but this was even better than the first. In time, I plan to write a longer review (for this one and the first book) but for now I will say that it is well worth the read :)"

" this one made me cry a few times "
— Jessica, 5/10/2013" Good book-great message. However, I do not agree with the reviews on the back that claim Freedom's Stand is the next Kite Runner-not even close! "
— Angela, 1/28/2013" Fascinating but heartbreaking look at life in Afghanistan. "
— Jen, 11/13/2012" I enjoyed the book to a certain extent, but Veiled Freedom was definitely more enjoyable for me. This book also had some quite intense scenes of peril, unlike what I found in book #1. "
— Precentor, 9/29/2011" I love this author and this one is set in Afghanistan. The author's parents were missionaries and her books always put how to find the love of God no matter what circumstances you might be in. "
