Gracia Burnham was serving as a missionary in the Philippines when she and her husband, Martin, were kidnapped by Muslim terrorists. They spent over a year in the jungle as hostages enduring hardships of all kinds, including constant shortage of drinking water, near starvation, and 17 gun battles.

Sheila Booth-Alberstadt ignored God for the first 40 years of her life. But after being confronted by His very real existence, she proceeded to treat Him like a genie in a bottle.

Yet she was constantly plagued by doubts like:

Why couldn't she heal her own children when they were sick?

Why couldn't she heal her own body?

Why didn't financial prosperity come to her even when she had the “faith” that it should?

It eventually all came to a head after she left for the woods to spend time with God seeking answers… when He delivered her from the Prosperity Gospel.
