" I am not sure I find Ashley Smith a Hero in the real sense."
Me neither,
Should Jessica Lynch have forfeited her freedom and run back to her Iraqi captors to read aloud from A Purpose Driven Life ?
Should Elizabeth Smart have done the same thing ?
Once you are the victim of a kidnapping and have the opportunity to escape- take it.
Don't trust your kidnapper and hope to convert him by reading scripture.
You can still be a good Christian by escaping and alerting the authorities to the location of your abductor.
Your concept of 'christian' is just too sophisticated for we mere Christians.
Me neither
Okay, Wild Irish Rogue...get rid of the IRA and I'll believe you are a REAL man...after all...you KNOW what to do in EVERY adverse situation....
Did you forget the HERO, Thomas Hammel, went back to his captures in Iraq the first time he escaped....He realized he didn't have a chance that time.....Very intelligent thing to do....He survived......So did she.
