A Child in Japan During World War II

Comments regarding A Child in Japan During World War II:

"Thank you for your fascinating story of growing up in Japan. I couldn't put it down. One of the things that is really admirable about your story is its honesty. It must have been tempting to not disclose your true feelings as a boy about Germany and the rise of Hitler, and your feelings at the time of Roosevelt's death. The authenticity of your story is very impressive." - Bishop Jack M. Tuell, UMC retired

"It is an utterly fascinating and inspiring story, most of which I could relate to. I just wanted to let you know my deep appreciation for it and how highly I evaluate it." - Dr. Robert Mikio Fukada, Professor Emeritus, Doshisha University, Japan

"Thank you for your book. I started it after supper Sunday and absolutely could not put it down until I finished it. In some places I smiled, others I said 'yes' aloud, others I teared up, others I laughed aloud, others I nodded affirmatively." - Kathy Yamada, Retired Missionary to Brazil, CA

"I hope you know what a profound and original work your book is. Your story is literally incredible by most standards. The book's faith perspective makes it truly inspirational. I can see your book as a film. What a wonderful film it would be, for adults and children alike." - Helen Talkin, College Instructor, CA

"Your wonderful book arrived and has been read from cover to cover. When my future tours arrive at the Doolittle display, your name will be presented along with Jacob DeShazer's." - Jerry Millhouse, National Museum of the United States Air Force, Dayton, OH

"Your memories fascinated me. They are first-class literature. Your stories are testimonies of the greatness and mercy of God. They strengthen me in my faith. Already on the first page I was caught in the suspense of what would follow. … What amazes me is that even in Japan you were subject to German victory propaganda as we were in Germany." - The Rev. Reinhold Fritz, Dresden, Germany
