God in the Foxhole is a stunning assortment of true personal accounts from generations of American troops whose faith, in the words of publisher Charles W. Sasser, "has been given birth to, reborn, tested, sustained, verified, or changed under flame."
A renowned master of combat journalism and a past Green Beret, Sasser has gathered an immensely moving assortment of war experiences like no other -- experiences of spirituality, conversion, and miracles from the battlefield. Be they Christian, Jewish, Muslim, or atheist, churched since years as a child or touched by the divine for the first time, here will be the riveting activities of army privates, bomber pilots, navy lieutenants, marines, prisoners of warfare, medics, nurses, chaplains, and others who, under needy circumstances and with every reason to dread for his or her lives, found unknown power, courage, and heroism through their impressive faith.
These inspiring accounts transcend the explainable to be stunning portraits of survival and belief: the angelic vision that brought inner peace to an exhausted helicopter door gunner in Vietnam...the makeshift full-immersion baptisms of eleven troops on Palm Weekend in Iraq, 2004...two enemies -- a Nazi priest and an American G.I. -- who served Communion Mass in a Belgian sanctuary in 1944...the prescient letter from a Civil Battle army major to his beloved wife, one week before his fatality at Bull Run...the 21st-century child with a jaw-dropping religious connection to a warfare hero of Iwo Jima...and dozens more.
A warfare chronicle like no other, God in the Foxhole affirms, for military buffs and viewers from all strolls of life, the energy of faith in the face of adversity.
