This review is from: God Was at Midway: The Sinking of the USS Yorktown (CV-5) and the Battles of the Coral Sea and Midway (Paperback)

God Was At Midway by Stan--my husband for nearly 60 years--tells our story of trusting God in the early years of our marriage during World War II.

Filled with adventure, excitement, and romance, Stan tells the factual and personal aspects of the events leading up to the Battle of Midway. He also reveals how God changed the course of history in personal lives and in our nation through the most significant battle of this Second Great War.

God Was At Midway is must reading for those searching for a deeper understanding of not only how the Holy Spirit operates in human affairs but also how the Holy Spirit impacts personal lives through these events.

In short, God Was At Midway is scholarly, concise and a valuable contribution.

Stan successfully appeals to an eclectic audience!

5.0 out of 5 stars "Chilling, Motivating, Oustanding!!!", August 21, 1999

This review is from: God Was at Midway: The Sinking of the USS Yorktown (CV-5) and the Battles of the Coral Sea and Midway (Paperback)

Chaplain Stanford E. Linzey's book-God Was At Midway-has incorporated the author's love of God, wife, and call to duty. This is the ultimate war story of love and sacrifice, the Godly wife who prayed for her husband and stood with him no matter what, while he faced possible death while many of his shipmates suffer horribly.

God Was At Midway is the story of God's divine intervention in people's lives at war, the author's personal life, and in the affairs of the nation as a whole.

The Battle of Midway was the turning point of World War II. The complete historical accuracy of Linzey's book places this author on par with the best writers of the subject.

This review is from: God Was at Midway: The Sinking of the USS Yorktown (CV-5) and the Battles of the Coral Sea and Midway (Paperback)

This book, God Was At Midway, impacts many from the perspective that it is about the life of a very young enlisted man who had the courage to believe he was to make a differenct in other young men's lives on the seas, at war and far from home. He had the stamina to believe he would survive and physically rescue another life from drowning as the Yorktown went down. He had the faith and the hope that he would return to his family. And he had the strength to carry out his duties on the job, his spiritual duties with the men, while mentally remaining focused, sane, and strategically thoughtful in every aspect of his being. Not only that, he kept his sense of humor during and after the ordeal.

While reading his story, one can feel the uplifting, the positiveness of what life should be about and how we should approach life.

I am a mother of (3) sons who are too young to realistically know what war is. This is another world they do not understand. This book would make a great movie, a TV special; or an excellent mini-series.
