About this listen

How do you survive when everything you hold dear has been ripped away?

This is the question Radha Manickam asks himself during the three years and nine months he spends under the merciless rule of the Khmer Rouge. When Khmer Rouge forces take the city of Phnom Penh in 1975, Radha is a new Christian, passionate about living out his faith. Over the next years of his life, 1.7 million of his fellow Cambodians--including most of his own family--will perish due to starvation, disease, and unthinkable violence.

As he strives to hold tight to his faith, he finds that in the midst of hell on earth God has not forgotten him. Forced by the communist regime to marry a woman he doesn't know, Radha discovers that God has a plan for his life that he never would have imagined.

This compelling true story of survival against incredible odds shows that out of war, fear, despair, and betrayal, God can bring hope, faith, courage, and restoration.

It was hard to listen to because of the terrible things that happened but I’m so thankful to God for His faithfulness in their lives may I be so bold to continue on like Rada and his wife did and to forgive

This book is thorough, concise, and considerate. Les Sillars has emerged as a captivating writer and natural narrator. My personal, historical knowledge base is deeply enriched by the touching transparency of Radha's life as he shared it. Thank you to the Manickam family for your commitment to Christ & for demonstrating courage in the face of such atrocities.
