Book Description
BooYoung is a cute and playful five-year-old boy who lives in Costa Rica with his missionary parents. They are learning Spanish so they can go Bolivia where God called them to serve. One day BooYoung and his parents are watching Finding Nemo on TV. While watching the movie, he becomes fascinated with sea turtles. Since his family lives near the Caribbean, he prays eagerly every day that he could see a real green turtle! "Tales about the marvels of creatures captivate me. I marvel at the way God's hand has created not only people but all of creation, especially living things. I am filled with awe and wonder toward our God, as skilled writers bring his handiwork to life. Grace Roh wonderfully has done this for us in the delightful, informative story of a young child and a sea turtle. She helps the reader sense tension and struggle within the child and also the sea turtle. In addition to this engaging story, thoughtful guiding questions are included to help young readers realize God's majesty in what He has made." - Dr. Scottie May, Associate Professor, Christian Formation & Ministry, Wheaton College, Illinois Grace S.

Book Description
A novel of the black markets of the South Vietnamese city of Da Nang during the Vietnam War, based on the author’s experiences as a self-described South Korean mercenary on the side of the South Vietnamese, this is a Vietnam War novel like no other, truly one that sees the war from all sides. Scenes of battle are breathtakingly well told. The plot is thick with intrigue and complex subplots. But ultimately The Shadow of Arms is a novel of the human condition rather than of the exploits and losses of one side or the other in war.
