- Synopsis
- A TRUE AND THRILLING STORY OF HOW THE PRACTICAL DEMONSTRATION OF THE LAW OF LOVE IS BRINGING INTERNATIONAL UNDERSTANDING AND THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST TO JAPANThis is the amazing story of Sergeant Jacob De Shazer (1912-2008), who participated in the Doolittle Raid as a staff sergeant and, when released from 40 months in a Japanese prison, he announced to the world that he was going to return to Japan as a missionary…and he did!“Soon after Jacob De Shazer returned to Japan as a Christian missionary there was a great demand for a book concerning his conversion. In order to comply with that request and also to reach additional thousands with the Gospel message, Mr. De Shazer wrote and published in Japanese an account of his life. This autobiography [contains] much personal testimony, sincere exhortation, and Scripture exposition as well as his prison experiences. The author has spared no effort in gathering additional pertinent material from other sources [including] Army Personnel Records, Documents from the post-war Allied War Trials Court, news dispatches, war reports, [and] private correspondence with De Shazer’s comrades in prison.”—Charles Hoyt Watson
