Publisher's Synopsis
When fifty-five rebels descended on Nick and violently pushed him into a car, he knew he might never survive this day. Guns were fired and screams filled the air. The threats of the rebels on Lorna's cellphone: "Pick a coffin! We're sending him back to you in a coffin!" With each phone call Nick made to her, she was painfully aware of the torture and beatings inflicted on him, while the rebels desperately tried to raise the ransom through the only way, they knew how, violence and impending death. "Please, help me! Help me! They are going to shoot me!"
Lorna was shattered by his desperate pleas while the negotiators continued their cat and mouse game over the ransom for her husband's life. Fear wanted to devour them both alive as the hours turned to days. Both Nick and Lorna recount the traumatizing details of Nick's abduction. Lorna frantically tries to remain strong for her three daughters and what she believes to be, her dying husband. Throughout, she was constantly confronted with a choice. The choice to believe the harsh reality in front of her, or the written Word of God. Kidnapped is the gut-wrenching true story of a ten-day ordeal in which Nick fought for his life and sanity from one torturous moment to the next. Lorna on the other hand, was faced with a daily battle to keep her eyes fixed on her faith in Psalm 91, "He who dwells in the shelter of the Almighty" and "For He will command angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways."

- Carien Bosman "I was privileged to read "Kidnapped" where Lorna Greyling shares her experiences of the time when her husband was kidnapped. I have never been touched so deeply by the raw emotion capture in her book. It felt like I was a witness to her soul in every moment. I felt every hurt, every anxious moment, every deep emotion, every fear. The realization that it actually happened exactly as she recalled it made the experience of reading this book so intense and very, very real. I can highly recommend this book - it's one you can't put down!"
-Monica Coetzee "As I read the book, I just found peace and I know God is watching over me/us and the trials that we come across. When I was busy reading, I had tears rolling down, you also gave me courage to stay in the presence of the Lord. As Matthew 11:28 has said: that He will lighten up our heavy loads, as my situation is not like Nick's, but I also in a trying time and you just strengthen me as you walk with Him in so much Faith in Jesus' name, Amen. I just finished reading, but I want to read it again and again. You are such a God-fearing and so much blessed family, and you inspire us so much and to trust in Him no matter how the situation seemingly impossible. You also showed us that nothing is impossible with God. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BLESSINGS ME WITH THIS BOOK."
