Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The New Japan It seems that God stretched out his hand to touch the wounded soldier who wrote this from Vietnam: Faith is a by-product of this fierce jungle war. If I had listened before I became old enough to become a warrior I might have realized that faith had been tested throughout centuries past in wars, in plagues, and in other disasters in which death stalked through the streets. Out here a man must have more than his rifle to cling to. This brief note, written by a Purple Heart man, bares his conviction that faith in God has power to sustain a man when death seems to be tapping him on the shoulder. This soldier, who found the strength to stand against flaming hardware and close-quarter combat, is telling us that faith has a dramatic and mysterious power which makes it very real. He refrains from telling us that we, too, must be bathed in fire to prove that our faith has the same reality as his. Yet, having known about our complacent way of life, he might have wondered if the faith we profess to have will endure and give us the same sort of strength he discovered that he had in a grueling contest in a jungle. He may also wonder if his own strength, born of faith, would be as great today had he not been hurled into an inferno for testing that faith. War has done strange things to men. The father of the Purple Heart veteran in Vietnam confirms that faith often finds its most magnificent expression in depressing hours when the guns of battle may be temporarily stilled. This father relates that a dirty, unshaven, exhausted infantryman he knew in a previous war felt a hand touch his head one day in just such a depressing moment.
