Book Description
In April 2013, Eric LeFurge received a phone call that turned his life upside down. His father had succumbed to cancer, leaving his wife without her husband of forty-plus years, and he and his sister without their hero. Now his father would never ride his Harley-Davidson, play with his grandchildren, or fulfill any of the adventures he had planned. In the eyes of mortals, his death was a tragedy. But in heaven, it was a celebration. In this poignant memoir, LeFurge shares a glimpse into his fathers life and dreams as well as his own relationship with his dad from an early age to the final days. From Boy Scout excursions into the back woods to family vacations around Michigan to helping his dad build a pole barn and to working with him to restore a 1981 Plymouth Turismo, LeFurge leads others through his recollections of a unique father-son relationship that sometimes tested their patience but most often offered comfort, unconditional love, unyielding support, and most importantly, a shared faith in a loving God. Dad: My Hero, Our Journey shares a touching story of a sons journey through his memories as cancer takes away his hero father and inspires the ones left behind.

Book Description
The story of Harry and Christine Meijer on its face is not unique. Throughout history, countless individuals have endured immense physical and psychological trauma as a result of war and authoritarian regimes. These tyrannical leaders motivated by a desire for absolute control and subjugation of the population, inflicted immense suffering upon civilian populations. Born in a country under colonial rule, Harry and Christine in their formative years were undoubtedly marked by a confluence of economic and cultural challenges. However, the true crucible of their lives emerged at the dawn of their adulthood, when they were confronted with adversities of unimaginable magnitude. Their narrative encompasses the reality of lingering PTSD suffered by Harry and Christine, which significantly impacted their nine children during tumultuous migrations across three continents, demanding constant adaptation to unfamiliar cultures and languages. Despite facing these significant hardships, the remarkable resilience and ultimate triumph over adversity stands as a powerful testament to the human spirit’s capacity for perseverance. Grounded in meticulous historical detail and enriched with poignant anecdotes, this work offers readers the opportunity to glean novel insights into the hardships endured by millions in the South Pacific during World War II and also serves as a source of inspiration for overcoming their own challenges.
