Charlene Curry's book documents her spiritual journey as a military spouse facing her own challenges in raising her family while meeting the expectations placed upon her. She shares with us the joys, the social pressures especially while living in foreign lands, fears, depression, feelings of guilt, and grief over the loss of a child. Her main source of comfort was the strength she received from placing her trust in God. Prayer was what brought her through the many difficulties and emotional turmoil she went through in her career as a military spouse. The renewed strength she gained each day from God transformed her life and thus the lives of countless others who came in contact with her. This book will be an encouragement to many readers, not only to those in the military but also to civilians. www.believebooks.com

He shares with us invaluable lessons in leadership that will be of timeless benefit to any reader. His vivid descriptions of combat are very fascinating.
