Book Description
Imagine that you are living the "American Dream": a family man with a respected position at a Fortune 500 company, a two-story home, two kids, two cars, and money in the bank. Now picture yourself and your family receiving the news that you have cancer, a diagnosis that promises a defensive battle for survival. How much would this test your faith and the faith of your family? For Bill Peterson, the American dream became a nightmare. Within six months of the cancer diagnosis, his employer, Enron, collapsed and he lost his health insurance and then his home. The collapse of Enron has been a confusing mass of high finance, corporate deception, and Wall Street shenanigans. Flashlight Walking juxtaposes a human life, and death, against the unemotional and swift life, and death, of the fifth-largest corporation in the world. Join Bill and Cathy Peterson as they travel this incredible journey with God teaching trust only one step at a time. The direction -- the light -- seemed only the size of a flashlight beam! It's a love story, an adventure, a soap opera, and a war movie, all rolled into one. Share the Petersons' story as they lose everything of the way of life they once knew -- their home of fifteen years, their second car, their security. And experience their conviction of the presence of God in their lives! Book jacket.

Letters from Vietnam
Author: Bill Adler
Publisher: Presidio Press
ISBN: 030741583X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
“No heroes, everyone did their part, and everyone was scared to death.” They are the words of soldier Mark W. Harms in 1968, summing up his combat experience during the Vietnam War. His stunning letter home is just one of hundreds featured in this unforgettable collection, Letters from Vietnam. In these affecting pages are the unadorned voices of men and women who fought–and, in some cases, fell–in America’s most controversial war. They bring new insights and imagery to a conflict that still haunts our hearts, consciences, and the conduct of our foreign policy. Here are the early days of the fight, when adopting a kitten, finding gold in a stream, or helping a local woman give birth were moments of beauty amid the brutality . . . shattering first-person accounts of firefights, ambushes, and bombings (“I know I will never be the same Joe.”–Marine Joe Pais) . . . and thoughtful, pained reflections on the purpose and progress of the entire Southeastern Asian cause (“All these lies about how we’re winning and what a great job we’re doing . . . It’s just not the same as WWII or the Korean War.” –Lt. John S. Taylor.) Here, too, are letters as vivid as scenes from a film–Brenda Rodgers’s description of her wedding to a soldier on the steps of Saigon City Hall . . . Airman First Class Frank Pilson’s recollection of President Johnson’s ceremonial dinner with the troops (“He looks tired and worn out–his is not an easy job”) . . . and, perhaps most poignant, Emil Spadafora’s beseeching of his mother to help him adopt an orphan who is a village’s only survivor (“This boy has nothing, and his future holds nothing for him over here.”) From fervent patriotism to awakening opposition, Letters from Vietnam captures the unmistakable echoes of this earlier era, as well as timeless expressions of hope, horror, fear, and faith.
