This book is actually about my grandpa and I have read it numerous times, It is interesting to hear about his life and the trails and hardships he has gone through. It goes all the way back to him talking about growing up on the reservation and the suffering he went through and then to getting married in high school and the many miracles that happened while serving in the war and the many misfortunes. I would defiantly recommend this book to read

This is a pretty good little view of one man's experiences of the horror of war. The narrative is done is such a way as to convey this while actually skirting much of the gruesome detail. I couldn't help but notice that this soldier's story contains no profanity--yet it must have been commonplace among the soldiers. While this story is not is as engaging as perhaps some works of fiction on the same topic, it has the benefit of being a real account. Although the title has a nice cadence to it, it misrepresents the story--the faith seems to really come long after the fire.

It is very inspiring and showed me God knows and loves us and listens to and answers a child’s prayer

This is a great.book about a real person and his life. It shows the darkness soldiers go through because of the horrors of war and the strain it puts on the soldier's family. It's one of those happy stories in that even though Robert Wren experiences crushing sorrow he is able to find faith and reunite with the woman he loves. I'm greatly impressed by him, as I've met him and he is a humble, kind person.

When I lived in Heber (age 0-8) my family lived across the street from the author Michael Wren. We were given this copy of his book. Since then My mother has read this story to our family at least three times while I was growing up, but this was my first time reading it on my own. My mother gave me the family copy of this book to keep a few weeks ago. I enjoyed re reading it as a adult. It's a wonderful book about have faith in the darkest of times.

I really enjoyed this book. I was sad that it didn't go into a little more detail about Bob's conversion and spiritual journey, but nonetheless I loved this story.

I had read this once before when it was first released and I remember really enjoying it then. This time it was even more fun to read as the author's son is now my roommate and best friend.

I'd recommend this book to my friends, for sure!

Such an interesting and inspirational story, made even better knowing that it is true. Knowing the people in the story makes it even more personal. It's amazing to hear the stories of war and get an idea of what happened during the Vietnam War from someone who was there, and then to get an idea of what life was like afterwards. Excellent read.

[Jennifer Kim · Rating 2 out of 5]

Disapointed. I was expecting something else, I guess. I wanted some insight into questions like - why do bad things happen to good people? Why does supposedly "just" God seem so unjust and even cruel? Along with a list of questions. He didn't really answer any of these questions to my satisfaction.

I can't recommend this book because I know I won't be reading this again. Once was enough.

Faith can indeed work miracles. I loved this true story--especially after meeting the couple in real life. Learned a lot about Vietnam.
