This book gives a lot of insight into what soldiers and their families and friends go through—both when they are serving and when they return home. It gives hope and helpful strategies while still being realistic.
The book could probably be trimmed down, but there are many amazing quotes and it is suspenseful and thought-provoking as well.
Simon’s experience conveyed that God knows each one of us by name, and treasures each and every person—which may encourage people who are seeking to know more about God. It also reminds us of how fleeting life is and encourages us to make the most of it and figure out and live our purpose.
Although I understand feeling called to serve and admire and appreciate those who serve, I hope and pray for peace and for better ways to resolve our issues.
