Picture is of granddaughter and grandfather after recording song together. "Memories of God" was written in honor of my father after he had passed over. I recently completed the book "The Prisoner's Cross", in retirement, in hopes of preserving my father's remarkable witness in the Japanese WW 2 POW camps. The book centers around a journal he kept in the camps, and a miracle involving a cross he recounts there. As a small town pastor of nearly forty years I have seen how sharing God's love and grace - uncorrupted by politics, sectarianism, and church institutionalism - could transform lives for the better. Often the only thing the men in the camps could share was this love and Grace, and it proved indispensable. Improved quality of life and survival rates, through mutual care, and transformative experiences provide ample proof of this; evidence based not on intellectual argument, or scientific verification, but lived experience. The book was inspired by real events and individuals, although names have been fictionalized. The characters of Jop, Job in English, and Don the troubled young man he mentors by sharing his witness from the camps, honors my father's remarkable healing influence on so many. These and other characters, also speak to the growing epidemic of bullying and trolling, given the misuse of a proliferating social media, and the lasting trauma it can inflict; a trauma that often holds its victims captive.
