Love’s Refining Fire

Description

The love story of Sheila Dunbar, US Embassy office manager, and Diego Santos,
a physician, unfolds in mid-1980’s Bogotá, Colombia. The era and the nation are
shaken by terrorism fomented by drug trafficking on an epidemic scale.In turn, a US-
Colombian extradition treaty aims to combat and destroy that illicit trade.

In Love Under Fire, the predecessor of this book, the reader was given glimpses of
embassy operations and the profiles of various characters, both inside and outside
the US diplomatic community.Love’s Refining Fire retains much of those elements
but expands on them and adds more detail so that the reader gets a broader view
of the circumstances surrounding the story.It also explores more deeply the essence
of the theme: true love overcoming obstacles.Challenges abound and changes are
inevitable, but through them all, God is faithful.Trusting in Him and each other, the
two main characters, Sheila and Diego, are sustained, not merely for a season, but for
a lifetime of seasons.

May those of us who have chosen to walk the narrow path of faith be encouraged by
their story.
