A Story About Love, War, and the Unreached with Marv Newell

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, the historical fiction book, 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. Will their paths cross again? Tune in today as host Dave Jacob interviews author Marv Newell and learn how you can use this book to inspire and challenge those God is calling--no matter the cost.
