One of our volunteers, Lee Burtman, has written a memoir for a dear World War ll veteran friend. It's finally finished, after three years, and will be available in early October. The story follows this man's harrowing journey through war-torn Europe and also shares a touching account of meeting his first love while in France. The book fast-forwards to his life today and shares his spiritual struggle as he second-guesses crucial decisions he made over sixty years ago. I believe his story will be an encouragement to believers and an opportunity for unbelievers to hear the Gospel through the pages of Fighting For Delphine: A Soldier's True Story Of Triumph And Tears.
Lee says, "I want to share God's truth and also honor my veteran friend, Ken, about whom the book is written. We're planning a book-launch event/tribute at Galilee Baptist on Saturday Oct. 11 at 7 p.m. We'll have a 1/2 hour salute to Ken and all the WWll vets in the area with music, patriotic hymns, a video honoring our vets, etc. Then there will be a book-signing with a display of military artifacts and light refreshments. The public is welcome to attend!"
