Just picked up: The Heart Must Break: The fight for truth and democracy in Burma by James Mawdsley (2001). Published under the title "The Iron Road" in the U.S.

Since we have been working with the Karen people, I went to pick up a few books about Burma from the public library, and stumbled across this. I have only skimmed it, but it's a truly remarkable story. This British guy, ordinary young person, had such love for his fellow man in a different country that he kept going back, even when he was thrown in prison and tortured.

It was also in prison when he cried out to God, and found Him. He asked for a Bible and read it like never before. Meanwhile, in the outside world, his family and officials worked tirelessly for his release. It's quite a read. Not many people would go through what he did for people in a foreign place.
