Product Description
This volume tells the story of life in war-torn Bosnia and of a young couple's heroic efforts to rebuild the shattered community of Mostar. In January 1993, a Croat Christian working for a small aid agency drove a lorry-load of stoves into Mostar, the principal city of Herzogovina and the scene of fierce fighting between Croats, Muslims and Serbs. Once a symbol of peaceful co-existence, Mostar had become a hell of ethnic conflict. The lorry driver, Nikola Skrinjaric, and his fiancee Sandra decided to do what they could to alleviate the suffering of those who had not fled. Two months later, they were married in Mostar and were leading a church, offering support and consolation to those whose lists of bereavements grew by the week. The church has grown despite the hatred, and members of all three ethnic groups are united in a community which is already building bridges of reconciliation and forgiveness. The story of Nikola and Sandra is the focus for this account of the lives of individuals who lived through the hell of Mostar in 1993, each being profoundly affected and changed by their experience. Above all, the book is a story of a city and its people experiencing great suffering.

This review is from: Miracle in Mostar (Paperback)
Having been to Mostar, Bosnia & Herzegovina and knowing the streets and locations written about in this book I found it an excetionally wonderful read! It was great to read about the way God works and provides hope even in the midst of a devastating war. Much of Bosnia & Herzegovina is still dreadfully broken and dark even nearly 20 years after the war has "ended" but there are many sources of light and hope springing up all over the country.I really wish there would be another printing of this book so more people could read this wonderful story. I recommend this book to everyone with a heart for missions especially those planning to serve in any of the former Yugoslavian Countries.
