Readers today often express an interest in reading something "real," just as many movie goers look for films "based on a true story." One cannot find anything more real than this book. Every contributor is invested in its vision, and each one personally offers to help readers. In this sense, this book's impact goes far beyond the pages. Joe DeFazio is the point person and his humbly expressed record of what he is able to accomplish for other suffering veterans is nothing short of heroic. Bruce McDaniel, a multi-decorated medic, is also an understated hero who, with his wife and family, has extended a life of compassion long after the Vietnam War's end into today, taking refugee children into their home to love and rear. His own thoughtful reflections on the war and its aftermath in his afterword to this book and his own Walk through the Valley: The Spiritual Journey of a Vietnam War Medic and The Hardest Part: Homecoming Stories from the Vietnam War bear out Joe's concerns and example. You won't come away from this brief book the same. It will widen your vision of how you too can help.

In this small collection of poetry by Terry McDermott and collected by Jeanne C. DeFazio, McDermott’s poems tenderly speak to the hearts of women who suffer from post-abortion grief, encouraging them to let go of fear, regret, and anger and to thank God for covering the past, present, and future. Further reflection on Nelson Mandela’s poem, “Letting Go,” reminds us all of the importance of forgiveness and release.

This book is a retrospective and model for the postmodern church for revival and reform containing actual primary source quotations from all those involved.

“The Journey Home” is a collection of memories from those who came into communion with God by accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior. It is an oral history of culturally diverse men and women who represent the global community of the body of Christ. These Christians share the uncensored version of their encounter with God, understanding that you can argue with a person's theology but you can't argue with their story because it is what it is.
