The Unveiling is a harrowing excursion into the hidden Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Kristin Decker and her husband Randy arrived in Saudi Arabia eager for adventure and hoping to make a difference. Hired to teach two young Saudi royals, their willing pupils grow by leaps and bounds. Believing God has propelled them to the desert Kingdom, the couple hopes to enable the newly founded school to prosper and prepare its young royal pupils for University and a life where they can help mold the future of Saudi Arabia. Unbenownst to them, Prince Faisal's confidant, jealous of their new found success and favored status with the Saudi Royal family, plots against them, leading to their hasty deportation after less than one year in the Kingdom. Kristin Decker's timely and relevant book regarding this often misunderstood Middle Eastern country is an eye-opener about faith, deception, and forgiveness. Not to be missed!
