Wounded Soldier: A Reason to Live, a Faith That Heals

by John Steer

Shattered physically and psychologically in Vietnam, the author traces his discovery of Jesus fist as savior through the bloodiest battles of the war, and a lukewarm homecoming.Emphasizing the void he felt in a life without God, Steer, a heavily-decorated Army paratrooper, is candid not only about his war experiences, but also in dealing with the sin issue.Believing that God spared him on Hill 875, even with the loss of an arm and other painful injuries, Steer searched for meaning in his life and found it in the Bible.An aggressive foreign missionary and counselor to veterans, he advises politicians and medical personnel who come in contact with wounded war veterans.This is a fast-moving story, told by a man who understands that soldiers in God's army must overcome their wounds and win souls for Christ. Because through the battlefields of war, and the battlefields for our minds and circumstances, we find that by His stripes we are healed.

Christ's Soldier

It has been a privilege to know John Steer and his wonderful wife Donna. John has served Christ and his fellow Veterans, above and beyond the call, for many years now. There aren't too many who would do what John has so selflessly done. I am very thankful and feel blessed to have an American hero like John Steer traveling amongst us and working to save the lost. Go Herd! I also warms my heart to know that a hero of mine has such a great woman watching his back. This is a fantastic book that chronicles the change in the heart of a soldier that occured on a hill in Vietnam, a hill he should never have come off of alive.

A Blessed Servant

I've been friends with John Steer for 21 years. What a blessed and dedicted hero of and for our veterans. John travels 60k+ miles a year touching people in a way that is hard to explain. The book is a gift to all and is an education for those that never served, and an inspiration for those that did serve. Thank You my friend for sharing your life with the world. Randy

My friend John

I have known John Steer for many years. I know him as a man who is deeply religious, but not above a good time, a man who would give the shirt off his back (and has) for a fellow veteran, the best possible kind of friend. After reading his book I better understand what made John the man that he is. Excellent reading.
