Description
“Benjamin and Carol Weir’s story is a compelling
account of the tragedy of human indifference and
official insensitivity that should be read and
contemplated by all Americans. These two brave
and long-suffering people are a living testament to
the power of individual initiative and humane
principles, and to the folly of ‘official’ policies that
choose to shoot it out rather than to talk it out, to
escalate rather than to negotiate. Reading their
story will move you from frustration and despair to
faith and hope. It is a story for our age.”
-Rev. Jesse L. Jackson
“Hostage Bound, Hostage Free is an extraordinary
testament of faith, of hope, of love, by an American
Presbyterian minister, Benjamin Weir, and his wife,
Carol. In these pages I painfully touched my own
captivity-the loneliness, the pain, the frustration,
the fear, the despair, and finally the inner peace and
utter reliance on God’s love and faithfulness-and I
touched the courage of a wife and son and
daughters, Ben’s family, who struggled against the
forces that wanted their silence. Hostage Bound,
Hostage Free is a spiritual odyssey of triumph.”
-Father Lawrence Martin Jenco, O.S.M.
