This book is written as a tribute and testimony to God's faithfulness, power and love when facing our darkest hour. This author believes everyone faces some "type of Vietnam" as they navigate through life.Earth is not heaven. Most times I have found God does not remove hardship. Instead, He goes with us through the darkness. The stars are shining in the daytime, but you cannot see them. This book shares with you, the reader, that it often takes the darkness of night to see the spectacular beauty and grace of God.Therefore, this book is not about the controversies regarding Vietnam. It is about the wonderful Presence of God during my most difficult circumstances while serving my country there. So often God gets blamed for the evil we see around us, when He is the only One who has done anything about it.
