Imagine struggling through a childhood dominated by an intimidating father. Imagine stepping into an elite airborne division that trains you to be a killer in Vietnam. Try to imagine stumbling back into society after that...minus an arm. All of a sudden, your body isn’t whole, and your country turns its face as you approach.
This is the story of John Steer, a heavily decorated soldier from Vietnam, a wandering warrior returning from southeast Asia, from a troubled past, and full of hate for himself and everyone else. In need of a lifeline, this brawling ex-soldier finally finds a commander worth his John Steer meets Jesus Christ, and the healing begins...
Wounded Soldier is the powerful story of a man in search for himself.
This book was not what I expected it to be. I found it to be very insightful to what veterans experience and to what those in the military go through. I encourage you to read this book if you know a veteran or if you don’t. This was an amazing book! It wraps the story of a veteran and how he coped with his troubles through the Good News of Jesus Christ.

I would recommend this book to any Veteran who is struggling with issues or who has contemplated suicide. As a combat Veteran, there were several areas that I could relate to.
