AFTER THE AMBUSH by Chuck Dean, What happened to America's Veterans? Thousands of Christian Veterans continue to suffer with Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). They and their families often live seemingly defeated lives, weighed down by guilt and confusion because they have not experienced complete healing through their faith in Jesus Christ. Why does this suffering continue? Will it ever end? After the Ambush: Lessons We Learned in an Unseen War shines light on the causes for this lack of peace and provides readers with a view of core spiritual issues and sound Biblical answers.
Soldiers returned from S.E. Asia carrying "baggage" that was more than it appeared on the surface...they packed unseen, ungodly spiritual baggage with them. For the most part, this "spiritual baggage" has never been recognized or examined and this has effected thousands of lives -- resulting in angry, wandering, people who live without peace.
After the Ambush is a fresh approach to tearing down strongholds, helping readers begin to find healing and regain control of their lives - in the midst of circumstances out of their control. $11.00

His body came home from 'Nam in 1969, but his mind and soul were still there, held captive by an enemy he couldn't locate. It took a point man from a different army to lead him out. $5.00

Our Commander-in-Chief will decide when this war is over. Until then we can be thankful that war has been around long enough for Christians to learn something.

TAILWIND, a True Story by Robert Van Buskirk with Fred Bauer. "All my life I had been running, driven by some mysterious force I couldn't identify. The Army saw my perpetual motion as an asset, and molded it for their purposes. In Vietnam, as a Special Forces officer, I became the perfect killing machine ideally suited for a hit-and-run war. For my willingness to risk life and limb, the military awarded me some of the best prizes from its Cracker-Jack box, but not the big one or a flag to my mother. I wasn't killed -- only wounded five times. Soon, I was back on my feet running again. I would probably still be running if it were not for some strange happenings that resulted in my arrest and detainment in a German prison. It was there, locked up and unable to run, that I came face to face with my empty life. What I discovered in a German prison cell is what this story is all about." $8.00

Others will gain a little understanding and insight into what life was like in that place and in those days.
There are many good memories from Viet Nam. Whatever your experiences along Thunder Run, or whatever road you traveled, Tales of Thunder Run reminds you that you are better for them -- and that our greatest adventure is with God our Creator keeping us in the center of the way, right on course until the very end.

NOT ENOUGH TEARS by David Wright. Born in 1945, Dave Wright grew up in several small cities around Northern California. Dropping out of college, he was soon drafted into the Army and taught the skills necessary to survive in our nation's undeclared war in Vietnam. This began a transformation from innocence to hardened combat veteran, to an angry, confused husband and father with PTSD, who is now finding peace. He entered Vietnam at 23 and was respected for walking point and received the Bronze and Silver Stars while eluding the Purple Heart. For over thirty yeas he denied Vietnam had bothered him, while his family suffered the effects of his PTSD. Emotionally numb, his wife encouraged him to write what he couldn't feel or talk about. "Not Enough Tears" takes you through the thoughts and emotions of walking point through the steaming jungles and knee-deep rice paddies of Vietnam. Dave has been married to his teenage sweetheart for over thirty years and they have one son, Jonathan. They live in Southern Oregon where his story of healing continues to unfold. $15.00
The Acquittal of God, A Theology for Vietnam Veterans by Uwe Siemon-Netto. Many Vietnam veterans felt and, in fact, still feel rejected by their God and the church and betrayed by their nation and even their families. Using themes from Dietrich Bonhoeffer's theology, the author explores the veterans' situation and argues for God's acquittal of the charge of abandoning the veterans during and after the war. Uwe Siemon-Netto was a journalist in Vietnam and covered the peace movement in the United States. He has served as a chaplain and therapist with veterans. "This book provides an invaluable insight into the dynamics of the Vietnam veteran who returned to a nation torn by strife over the validity of his service. I recommend this to all who work with veterans, to the Vietnam veterans and their families, to chaplains, and, above all, to American clergy so that they can gain greater insight into what is going on in the mind and soul of the parishioner who carries the experience of Vietnam with him."
