The Fourth Fisherman — Kissack’s story is intermingled with the story of five fishermen who got lost at sea after a storm off the coast of Mexico. As they drift, turtles sustain them, rainwater and reading a Bible one of the men had brought along. Two in their party die along the way and a Taiwanese ship finally rescues them after 286 days. When Kissack hears their story, he feels called by God to share their story of faith and survival with the world. However, he can’t find a good fit until he learns to tie his story to theirs.

Before and After — Each and every chapter in Before and After is heartbreaking in some way. If you have read Before We Were Yours, I strongly suggest you read Before and After very soon.

Born Survivors — While parts of the story is heartbreaking and hard to read, I would recommend this book to anyone who is mature enough to handle horrors of the Holocaust. I think every time a first person story is shared, I learn something new and that is very true about Born Survivors.
