Description
No Turning Back is a gripping true story of faith, family, and courage in the face of political hostility and personal danger. Alethia Stendal recounts the dramatic events surrounding the arrest of her father—missionary Russell M. Stendal—who was falsely accused of terrorism in Colombia and thrust into a high‑profile legal battle. With the press attacking, the courts against them, and the threat of a 15‑year prison sentence looming, Alethia describes the fear, uncertainty, and the impossible choice laid before her father: face trial or leave Colombia forever.
Told through Alethia’s eyes, this deeply personal memoir goes beyond the headlines to reveal the human heart behind the conflict. She shares defining moments from her own life—including discovering true love—and the family’s journey of trusting God in circumstances designed to break them. Through danger, injustice, and spiritual resistance, this story powerfully testifies to God’s faithfulness and the strength to stand firm when everything is on the line.
Emotionally rich and full of unforgettable moments, No Turning Back invites readers into a story where faith is tested, courage is required, and turning back is not an option.
