VIENNA, Va., Sept. 13, 2012 /Christian Newswire/ -- Colonel Lee Ellis spent 1,955 days behind enemy lines in North Vietnam. In a powerful new book, he shares the moving story of how God was right alongside him, every step of the way.

From his capture -- when every minute could be his last -- through more than five years of abuse, torture and overcrowding that followed, Lee and his fellow POWs found comfort and inspiration from the Bible, prayer and faith -- even entertaining themselves by telling each other Bible stories and quoting Scripture verses from memory.

In his inspiring new book, "Leading With Honor," Colonel Ellis tells how prayer and the power of Jesus' love helped the POWs summon the will to live, the courage to resist -- and the leadership to prevail.

He'll also tell your listeners how the power of faith rallied his family and community back home and gave them the patience to endure their own crucible of despair.

• Publishers Weekly calls "Leading With Honor" "moving" and "inspiring."
   
• Foreward Reviews says it is "provocative...an exceptionally well-constructed and well-written book."
   
• Business Book Summaries described it as "a gripping personal narrative" whose lessons will help leaders at all levels.
