When You Come Home
Author: Nora Eisenberg
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
"In 1991, troops sent to Iraq for the first Gulf War returned home with a litany of physical, neurological, and psychological symptoms that collectively became known as Gulf War syndrome. Eisenberg bravely sheds light on the resultant devastation suffered by one small group of friends and their families...In a story that is, sadly, as pertinent as it is ageless, Eisenberg poignantly demonstrates that casualties of war occur both on and off the battlefield and ironically illustrates the vivid consequences when those in charge of veterans' postwar care fail to meaningfully 'support our troops'"--Booklist When You Come Home is both a timeless love story and a timely political novel set in the year after the 1991 Gulf War. In the Gulf sands, surrounded by death and danger, marine reservist Anthony Bravo has thought only of Lily, the feisty orphan raised in his home, and when he comes home, their childhood affection flames into passionate love. Both have lost fathers to the Vietnam War, but now, safe and settled, they rejoice that war and loss are behind them at last. Or, so it seems. Soon Tony's best friend, a career marine, suffers fevers and strange symptoms . . . Blending war and politics with a human story, When You Come Home takes up a topic rare in American fiction, the First Gulf War and Gulf War syndrome, the disabling illness that followed a third of the troops home.

Book Description
Are you believing God to restore your marriage? Are you standing on God's promises to heal your family? This book is designed to walk one through the journey of standing for their marriage by leading them through prayer and renewed relationship with God. Before God changes your spouse, His desire is to change you first""make you whole again and restore you back to Him.

Not as a book, but as a collection of several handwritten journals that God wanted to use for His glory and to save the life of this woman. I made one vow to God to help another woman get through the difficulties of life. I did not want another to struggle to find her voice in prayer, not realizing the power and authority she has implanted deep within her because she is the daughter of the Most High King. You may find the need to leave the constructs of religion and religious practices to seek an authentic relationship with God. Nicole's journey is one that breaks through the barriers of pain and brokenness to healing, restoration, and strength. One of the greatest gifts of love you can give is prayer.
