Amazing

An inspiring woman of faith. Such an encouragement. A blessing to walk the journey with her. One of my favorite books.

Amazing Faith!

I heard her tell her story over the radio when I was young. I have now purchased her book to read to my family so we can see once again how important faith, truth, peace and righteousness is needed daily in our short lives. All things work together for good...

Inspiring

A truly great book of faith and history. I loved being able to 'see' the inside of the camps and prisons. I also loved being inspired by her faith

A book that inspires and is true to facts.

I grew up in the same kind of Japanese concentration camps as Mrs. Rose. She was Mrs. Deibler during WWII and her book about her experiences during those years is so encouraging to all of us who have struggles in life. I was a child when all this happened and reading it from her perspective is healing to me. She was a colleague of my parents and although we were in different camps, our experiences were similar. Read this and you will know that you are never alone even when you live through the darkest hours of your life!

Tears of Sorrow, Tears of Joy!

If you can read this book without balling your eyes out at the goodness of God, you are missing what life is all about. An amazing story about the power of love.... from a woman who had every reason to hate. Without a doubt one of the most incredible testimonies to the reality of Jesus and his promises I've ever read. You will not be the same after reading this blessing of a book. Read it and see how love changed the heart of a monster. joyfulsongster

A Rare Gem

I agree with the saying, "So many books, so little time" and rarely have re-read any book, let alone re-read a book immediately upon finishing it. THIS IS THE EXCEPTION. Upon reaching the last page I started over immediately, moved and enthralled and inspired by Mrs. Deibler Rose's story. I cannot recommend it more highly, and am already stocking up on copies to give out with Christmas gifts for friends, family and neighbors. Thank you Mrs. Rose for your faithfulness to our Savior and your candidness in writing this part of your history. Pat D.

A Face of Faith

I am privileged to call Darlene friend, and I first heard much of the material in this book from her own dear lips and read much of it before it was sent to the publisher. What you get with Darlene Rose is reality...real, true faith and reliance on God. She told me once that God only gives good gifts, it is only that some are wrapped in black paper and do not seem, on the face of things, to be good gifts at all. But the knowledge of God and His character enable you to rely on the fact that "all things work together for the good of those who love the Lord." She often spoke of passing the time of her imprisonment by "putting the needle down on the tracks of her mind and playing back the Scriptures she had memorized." She has memorized phenomenal amounts on Scripture, not just verses or even chapters, but entire books. Your time spent reading Darlene's words will be well spent and enable you to better have that faith, despite the fact that evidence is often not seen here on earth. Her faith building words will have an effect on the rest of your life if you let them. I can hear her sweet laughter, she never lost her sense of humor, even in the most dire of circumstances. The soldier who rescued her happened to be named Tom Sawyer, after 4 years of horror when he said "Hi, I'm Tom Sawyer" she replied with "Hi, I'm Becky Thatcher"! Read this book and know that you are reading words from the heart of the real thing, a truly godly woman.
