Broschiertes Buch

Soldier By Chance

Beschreibung

In 1966, Thomas White was a nineteen-year-old surfer living an idyllic life in Marin County, CA. His sheltered world was shattered when he was drafted into the U.S. Army. At the moment the Vietnam War was ramping up, he found himself on the front lines. Tom arrived in Da Nang with the 8th Battalion, 4th Artillery, to begin a fourteen-month tour of duty. The journey took him to the DMZ, the border separating North and South Vietnam, and the scene of some of the heaviest fighting in the war. In addition to searing memories, Tom returned from Vietnam with a portfolio of candid photographs that bear witness to his life-changing experience. In this dazzling first book, Tom shares insights about relationships formed, experiences encountered, and the horror of war during this brief moment in a historic time. His words and pictures illuminate a harrowing tale and the transformation of a soldier by chance.

Autor

Since 2013, Dr. Thomas White has served as President of Cedarville University, where he leads with a passion for biblical truth, academic excellence, and intentional discipleship. The son and grandson of faithful Baptist pastors, Dr. White grew up in the local church and felt called from a young age to continue his family's legacy of gospel ministry. After earning his MDiv and PhD in systematic theology from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, he served in leadership and teaching roles at Southwestern Seminary before God called him to Cedarville. At the heart of Dr. White's leadership is a desire to raise up a generation of bold, compassionate, biblically faithful men and women who will make a difference for Christ wherever He calls them.During his presidency, Cedarville has experienced remarkable growth, from launching the largest fundraising campaign in its history and growing in enrollment and new programs to building new spaces that serve students well. But his favorite moments involve mentoring students, opening God's Word in chapel, and encouraging young leaders to pursue Jesus wholeheartedly.Dr. White is the author of a three-volume series on James Madison Pendleton and has served as the editor of First Freedom: The Baptist Perspective on Religious Liberty and Upon This Rock. He lives in Cedarville, Ohio, with his wife, Joy, their two children, and their dogs-where they love cheering for the Yellow Jackets and welcoming students into their home.
