A gripping account of courage, death, and survival in the war-torn islands of the Philippines. As Japanese military strategists planned their secret offensive against the United States in 1941, they designed a simultaneous two-pronged attack to wipe out American military might in the Pacific. While American battleships blew up and sank in Pearl Harbor, Japanese bombers approached the Philippines, soon destroying both American air and naval forces and leaving General Douglas MacArthur's ground forces in disarray. As the shipping piers in Manila harbor burned, nearly six thousand American civilians were suddenly trapped in the islands for the duration of the war. There would be no more ocean liners or Pan Am Clippers to transport them to safety. These unfortunate individuals and families became the largest body of American citizens ever captured by an enemy army. Soon most of these hapless civilians realized that they had little option but to surrender to the invading Japanese and be placed in squalid internment camps. However, on the small island of Panay, a group of American missionaries and gold miners bound their fates together and withdrew into hiding in the jungle. Some joined with the Filipino guerrilla forces, actively resisting the Japanese. Others quietly continued their humanitarian tasks amidst the horrors of war. But all of them experienced living hell together. For the first time in more than fifty years, the little-known story is told of these brave American civilians on Panay. Drawing on diaries, memoirs, family interviews, and military archives, Scott Walker describes daily life during the occupation and the danger these Americans faced in their efforts to serve both God and country. Both a story of profound tragedy and miraculous escape, The Edge of Terror is one of the most intense and dramatic accounts to emerge from World War II.

God often reveals himself to us in sudden, fleeting, and unexpected glimpses. This book is a collage of such glimpses, a collection of stories that have revealed to me the nature of God and secrets of life. I share these glimpses with you with the prayer that they will spark your own memory and you will see how God has revealed his way to you.

Glimpses of God: Stories That Point the Way

Augsburg Fortress Pub

All Christians face the challenges of discipleship, and all feel, at one time or another, that they have fallen short. Focusing on New Testament stories about the Apostle Peter, pastor Scott Walker asks: How does Peter's predicament apply to my life? What can I learn through Peter's experience that will make me a better Christian disciple? In his gentle, thoughtful style, Walker illuminates the theme that it is only through struggle and personal failure that we grow to be stronger followers of Jesus.
