"A GREATER FREEDOM takes you behind the "major media" scenes of the military and the people of Iraq right to the heart of where God is at work. It's a subject not addressed by mainstream news services, but faith in God has been a major component in Operation Iraqui Freedom. Through the stories you will travel this dusty, war-torn land. You'll learn of not only a greater freedom among Christians in the military, but of a new liberty for the Iraqi people themselves. "
