Have you experienced a split-second event that could change the direction of your entire life? Or if you knew that you had only ten minutes to live, would you be ready to meet your Maker? Are you equipped to face your ultimate challenge?

Missionary Lee Saalfeld experienced such an event in the Amazon Jungle of Ecuador. In The Machete and the Cross, he tells the story of a near-fateful event that night in a dark jungle village. Lee shares how the Lord prepared him for that death-defying moment and led him to his ultimate deliverance.

Like Lee, and without any advance warning, you may face a life-threatening situation, and it's vital for you to be ready for whatever comes your way. This book may very well prepare you for that unexpected moment.

Inside, you'll discover the following:

Why bad things happen to good people--it's simple and yet so misunderstood

The tremendous power in your spiritual prayer life

How your past experiences can influence your future

The confidence of knowing that God has a plan for your life

Why obedience is more important than sacrifice
