On a cold and frosty night a young man fights to stay awake as he struggles to keep an eye out for the enemy. That night he falls asleep at his post and his punishment is going to be the firing squad. There is nothing the young man's family can do to change the outcome... except maybe one thing.

D L Moody tells the touching story of one young soldier's narrow escape from death in a way that focuses your mind on Christ and his compassion for sinners. If Abraham Lincoln could show mercy to a young soldier and his family surely our Lord Jesus Christ can show compassion to those who turn to him.
