When a family outing in a private plane takes a tragic turn, a Memorial Day trip becomes an unforgettable 15 hours of danger, rescue efforts, and miracles.
On a clear Saturday morning, professional fire captain and private pilot Brian Brown, his wife, and younger daughter headed out in their Cessna Sky Hawk for a weekend with their elder daughter. But unexpected severe conditions send the craft into the treacherous War Eagle Idaho mountainside...a remote place that would make communication and rescue nearly impossible--if they survived.
This captivating story, featured on The Today Show, is about a family in crisis, emergency plans for survival, and the incredible orchestration of local, state, and national rescue workers who brave unpredictable obstacles to accomplish the unimaginable.

CHAPTER 2 Why You Must Stay If Any One of You Is Without Sin Forget the title of this chapter. If your church doesn’t desire God’s presence or want to radiate his glory, leave. If your church doesn’t care about the greatest commandments of love and the great commission to reach others, leave.
