Acerca de este título
An Unexpected Journey of Obedience
In the foothills of northwest Laos, an unreached tribal group lives unaware of the gospel—until an American army medic is captured and brought to their village. Set against the backdrop of the Vietnam War, Taking You Under My Skin imagines a mountain tribe’s encounter with Jesus and how it transforms their lives forever.
Follow the gripping journey of Mike Neilson as he miraculously escapes death to become a messenger of life. During his captivity, his fiancée, Lisa, clings to hope as she patiently waits for his return. She dedicates herself to translating the Bible into a previously unwritten dialect in a neighboring country—never knowing that Mike is nearby. Will their paths cross again? Perfect for those who appreciate historical fiction, wartime drama, and stories of unwavering faith, this book will inspire and challenge you to consider what it truly means to embrace God’s calling—no matter the cost.

You will love this book because it tells an amazing story of love, faith, and the surprising ways God works—all within the context of the Vietnam War. This is a hopeful and inspiring book that will challenge you to think about the power of God, the call to missions, and what it means to walk by faith in the darkest seasons of life. The book has surprising twists and turns that will keep you turning pages until the very end. Only a veteran missionary like Marv Newell could bring a story like this to life.—Stephen Leston, DBS, Resident Missiologist, To Every Tribe
Having read much of Dr. Marv Newell’s excellent missiological non-fiction, I was not surprised to be blown away by his cross-over into fiction. Taking You Under My Skin is a powerfully and poignantly told story of love, loss, sacrifice, and ultimate redemption set against the backdrop of the Vietnam War. And, yes, Marv’s passion for global missions is here with a heart-pounding suspense twist. When a “Missing in Action” notice rips apart a young couple’s dream of taking God’s Word to unreached people groups, they could never envision how their grief-laden, yet faith-filled journey of separation would lead to new “tongues, tribes, and nations” rejoicing before God’s throne. If there is an overarching message in this tale of human conflict, cruelty, chaos, and pain, it is that God wins! Always! Ultimately! As the title conveys, this story will get under your skin and change forever your understanding of God’s victorious purpose in our greatest trials and deepest valleys.—Jeanette Windle, Author, Veiled Freedom (ECPA Christian Book Award/Christy Award finalist), Freedom’s Stand (ECPA Christian Book Award/Carol Award finalist), Congo Dawn (Golden Scroll Novel of the Year)
Taking You Under My Skin invites you on a journey of heartache and hope, sacrifice and joy. This story of costly obedience to the Great Commission reminds us not only of our responsibility but also the privilege of taking the gospel where it is yet to be known.—Sue Eenigenburg, Author, Screams in the Desert and Grit To Stay, Grace To Go
