    About this ebook

    A Christian woman marries a man who is not a Christian. He is in the CIA, and he gets an assignment to Siberia.
    Ellen's hour of temptation comes when the CIA operative assigned to her manipulates her, and she commits spiritual adultery.

    Her husband is soon to find himself used by the CIA in a way that puts his life in great danger for naught. He finds the CIA not what he thought it was.

      Ellen Gray goes to Washington

      Ellen and Jerry Gray were married right out of college. Ellen was a Christian, and she made the mistake many Christians make. She married a non-believer, thinking she would get him saved later, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get him to darken the church doors. She felt miserable when she attended church alone, but she went and took their two kids anyway.

      It broke her heart when her four-year-old would ask, Why isn’t Daddy coming with us?

      Daddy is tired today, sweet heart. She would lie. She knew in her heart that a lie was not the answer.

      Daddy is tired a lot, isn’t he? Her husband hardly ever took them out any more. He was training for the CIA, of all things. He was smart, and he could have picked almost any field he wanted.

      This day the pastor preached on Corinthians II 6:14. Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers; for what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion has light with darkness?

      She knew the answer to that: don’t. The pastor asked if anyone wanted to come and pray after the service, and she allowed her friend Jessica to watch the children while she went up to pray. Her church was an old-fashioned Pentecostal church that still had prayer alters near the podium. They were up front where everybody could see who prayed, but this day, she didn’t care who saw. She knelt at the alter and poured her heart out to God unceasingly for an hour. She not only poured her heart out, she cried her heart out. She realized she was suffering because she had ignored what the Bible says about it. She was fully aware that she had been presumptuous in thinking she could get her husband saved after the fact. It made her more miserable to realize she had been presumptuous with God, but the fact was, the damage had been done, and damage control in that kind of situation is mute and ineffective unless God steps in, and that is what she begged
