5.0 out of 5 stars AN UPLIFTING AND INSPIRATIONAL READ, January 21, 2002

This review is from: God in the Trenches: A History of How God Defends Freedom When America Is At War (Paperback)

God In The Trenches is a superbly written historical account of selected crucial episodes in America's history, from the revolutionary war until "modern" times. The author is a military man of action, and the military training is evident in his spare, lean and incisive style of writing. Both his understanding and explanation of the complexities of U.S. military history are distilled into easily comprehensible prose which reads more like a tale of high adventure than an olive drab historical account. The delightful and refreshing aspect of this particular book lies in the manner in which the author intertwines his own lengthy and personal travels to a deeper faith and belief in God with his understanding and perception of American history. His observations of the actions of the hand of God at critical times in our nation's history are supported with impeccable research from disparate and unlikely sources which adds significantly to the credibility of his writing. It is just a remarkable book, and should be quite well-received in these turbulent times.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Timely and Compelling Story, January 22, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: God in the Trenches: A History of How God Defends Freedom When America Is At War (Paperback)

The author presents a timely and compelling account of a real God changing the lives of real people in a real world. Many who live in our post-modern culture know little or nothing about the recorded history of God's redemptive acts which have been directed toward man for at least 4,000 years. The author fills this void. As a marine, Mr. Spivey apparently served his country well. As an author, he has served his God well. Many are saying that the tragic events of September 11 are a wake-up call for America. If that is true, then God in the Trenches is must reading for every American.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a great book!!, January 10, 2002

Larkin Spivey's "God in the Trenches" is a wonderful piece of non-fiction. Non only was it interesting and thought provoking, but it filled me with a sense of peace. Reading about all the miraculous events of America's past wars gave me hope for the situation in which our country now finds herself. Every American should read this book!!
