At his lowest point, Bae is confronted with the reality that he may not make it out alive. Not Forgotten is a riveting true story of one man’s fight for survival against impossible odds.

Ratings and reviews

Awesome biography of being a prisoner and experiencing the visits of the Holy Spirit while severely mistreated. Some do suffer for the good of others. I recommend that all would read this testimony of God's strength for one of His children.

An interesting book and one that reveals much truth about North Korea. However, its hardly a masterpiece and for that reason alone, its very overpriced!

This was very touching and inspirational. I love that he was very brave to do his missionary work in North Korea. He kept his faith to God when he was a prisoner for 2 years, strong guy. God is good all the time.
