Siegfried Horn was a busy missionary on the tropical island of Jay in the Dutch East Indies. Then his native Germany invaded the Netherlands in distant Europe. Caught up in a global conflict, he found himself the interned citizen of an enemy country. In a primitive and hastily thrown together internment camp on a waterless island he begins a six-and-one-half year imprisonment. His only crime--having been born in the wrong country. For most of those years his wife thought she was a widow, that her husband had died when the ship transporting him to a new camp in India had sunk during an enemy attack.
Why would God let this happen to a dedicated Christian serving Him and His church? Why did God not intervene to free him? Were these wasted years? Had Horn lost some of his most productive years of life--thrown away in a meaningless existence of an internment camp? How did the suffering and brutal life of such a camp affect his faith? Dr. Horn wrote this book "to show that even behind the most discouraging
events there may be discernable --often only much later on--the guiding hand of God.
