Burried Alive by Roy Hallums

Burried Alive is the true story of Roy Hallums, a civilian contractor in Iraq who was held hostage for 311 days. During this time, Roy was beaten and not given sufficient food. There were bugs and filth everywhere. Roy lived in a hellish place for 10 months while his family had to deal with the possibility of never seeing him again. Roy details his days of being hostage from his side and his family’s side. He used his daughter’s journal to help with what his family was going through while he was being held hostage in Iraq. Roy does not go into depth about is faith, as would be expected in a book being published by Thomas Nelson, but nonetheless, the story of a man held hostage for 311 days and coming home alive is a good one. I thoroughly enjoyed reading Roy’s story. It kept me on edge the whole time. I would recommend this book to my friends and family.
