SynopsisLying face down on the muddy jungle floor, with the taste of his own blood in his mouth, all Malcolm Leal could do was call upon the God of his great-grandmother. Florencia Martinez Hernandez raised Malcolm as her own son in a small fishing village on the northern coast of Cuba. Teaching Malcolm wisdom gleaned from the worn pages of her century-old Bible, Florencia spoke of a temple promised to all people and that there were men on earth who walked with God. Most importantly, she taught him to rely on her God for everything. While on assignment for the Cuban Special Forces in the dense rain forests of Central America, Malcolm suffered the fatal blow of a sniper's bullet. As he felt his life slipping away amongst the surrounding shadows, Malcolm reflected on his life and the teachings of his great-grandmother. In what he thought were his last moments, he summoned the God of his grandmother in faith. Malcolm's prayer was heard. Faith Among Shadows recounts Malcolm Leal's miraculous journey in search of truth, and his eventual discovery of and conversion to the gospel of Jesus Christ., Florencia Martinez Hernandez always taught her grandson to rely on her God for everything, and that the true gospel of Jesus Christ was indeed on the earththey just hadnt found it yet. While on special assignment with the Cuban Special Forces, Malcolm receives a blow from a sniper rifle that almost ends his life. It is in this moment of darkness that Malcolm calls upon this God in faith, thus beginning his miraculous journey in search of truth, and his eventual discovery of and conversion to the gospel of Jesus Christ.

  • A true story of a Cuban man in search of truth

    I've read it before and want to read it again. It is a true story about man who grew up in Cuba and was led by the inspirations of his grandmother to search for the true church. He is not a professional writer, but a spell binding book indeed.
