Not Forgotten: The True Story Of My Imprisonment In North Korea Ebooks To Download
For the first time since his two-year imprisonment in North Korea, Kenneth Bae recounts his dramatic ordeal in vivid detail. While leading a tour group into the most shrouded country on the planet, Bae is stopped by officials who immediately confiscate his belongings. With his computer hard drive in hand the officers begin their interrogation and Bae begins his unexpected decent into North Korean obscurity. Bae’s family and friends make immediate appeals to the United States government asking for his release. With his family waiting patiently for any news of Kenneth’s well-being, Bae is forced to rely solely on his faith for his survival. At his lowest point, Bae is confronted with the reality that he may not make it out alive. Not Forgotten is a riveting true story of one man’s fight for survival against impossible odds.

Well written and quick paced account of Kenneth Bae's 2+ years with the North Korea's judicial system. Since the events are so recent the narrative gives an excellent insight into what is going on now and how the present North Koreans think. This book was very helpful for me to understand better what to us seems so insane but to them is logical. Even the leaders are so isolated from what is happening in the world I think it accounts for their bizarre and counterproductive actions. Several times in the book North Koreans said they just wanted to be left alone but actually it's the exact opposite with the leadership which often behaves like toddlers having a tantrum so as to get the world's attention. It's so sad 24 million innocent people are subjected to living like this in isolation and captivity. I think Kenneth Bae's book shows that most North Koreans are good and honest people with sensitive hearts who love their families dearly. Even though the North Koreans who came in contact with Kenneth Bae were convinced he had tried to overthrow their "beloved" government and way of life, still they were for the most part compassionate towards him. This book is well worth reading if you are interested in North Korea and while I hate to say I "enjoyed" it, I could hardly put it down.
I really enjoyed this book! I found myself learning a lot about North Korea (googling quite a few things that came up in the book like music and geography and court cases). Kenneth's story was well-composed, exciting and authentic. It was also very readable which is nice since I find that sometimes personal stories like this are thrown together and don't seem to be written in a cohesive and well thought out manner. He also made me care about the North Korean people in a way I never have before and hungry to learn more. God is Good. His plans are not our own. Kenneth's story shows this truth in an amazing and personal way.
I found this to be a very readable story of the author's time captive in North Korea. It is detailed enough to satisfy my desire to know more about North Korea, it's a beautiful testimony to God and to Kenneth's faith through a hard core trial - I'll be recommending to friends.
As a Korean I can't even imagine what it's like to be imprisoned in N.Korea...and to be sentenced 15 years. This is a well-written story which only took me a few hours to read from cover to cover.We often pray 'Rescue me, God'. But over the course Kenneth instead learnt to pray 'Use me, God' and it turned out to be blessing in disguise. Now Kenneth back to the States, i hope him and his fellow missionaries keep up the great work to raise awarness on the human rights conditions of North Korea.
Absolutely a page turner! This hero of the faith endured much brutality, both mentally and physically, while imprisoned in North Korea. This book does not disappoint. Kenneth Bae gives an honest account of his two years in prison, particularly how God strengthened his faith and molded his character as he cried out to Him for mercy.
While the people of North Korea are living in the darkness, we are not. We are their brothers and sisters in Christ. Let's pray for the positive reunion of the Northern and Southern segments of Korea. I read every book I can about people escaping North Korea and I am a WASP. This isn't an Asian problem, this is a human problem.
Thank you Brother Kenneth!! While you suffered this book was excellent and opened my eyes to the needs of the North Korean people. I prayed for you during your imprisonment and will continue to pray for you and North Korea. Thank you and please keep up your ministry. Great book, you will appreciate your life and want to do more for the world.
The last 6 months of been a whirl-wind for me. I lost my partner of 25 years. Nutshell we split up on her request. So with that I found God and Jesus Christ again and I permanently this time. I was saved and baptized (again) over the last few months. I have found an awesome and dynamic church that teaches the bible and having a relationship with God and Jesus.So what does this have to do with Pastor Bae and this wonderful book? To start with I have always had an intense interest in visiting North Korea. And being a new found Christian again, I have heard of Pastor Bae and his story on the news a few years back. Leaving religion out it. This is just an awesome book, dealing with struggle, sticking with personal beliefs and the sheer terror of the thought you could very well never see your family or freedom again.The book ties in some great scripture as well.Pastor Bae, if you read these reviews. Thank you sir. These past few months have been a struggle for me even though I have found our creator again. I am reminded daily my personal situation pales in comparison to most obviously including yours.
