Description
What a unique book. For any student of recent history, here are 13 short biographies telling of the powerful influence of the gospel in the lives of those who endured times of war.
Includes stories of: * the Japanese pilot who led the attack on Pearl Harbor * a German pastor who suffered imprisonment and death for the sake of his faith * a British general given the task of defending Malta against Nazi invasion * an American airman converted in captivity, who returned to Japan as a missionary * a Jewish girl who came to Christ while in hiding from the Nazis * an American chaplain who witnessed to leading Nazi war criminals on trial at Nuremberg
What did these people have in common? God was at work in their lives during the turbulent years of war, and their faith in Christ turned them into people who gave themselves in service to others.
"Once you start this book you will not want to put it down. It is a collection of remarkable stories told by a master storyteller. A book like this cannot leave you unaffected. If you are already a Christian it will strengthen your belief in the sovereignty of God and in the transforming power of his gospel. It will also challenge you about the depth and consistency of your commitment to Christ. If you are not yet a Christian this book will remind you that it is God himself who takes the initiative in every conversion, that he never turns away anyone who wants him, and that he supernaturally sustains us in our life of discipleship" ~from the foreword by Stuart Olyott
