    A Japanese POW and member of the Doolittle Raiders
  

*by R***Z on Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2014*

After graduation, Jake started working for the Basque sheep herders in California and Nevada. After two years he had saved up enough to invest in five hundred turkeys. Due to the Great Depression he went broke! Jake then joined the army. Following the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Jake along with many other men volunteered for a mission they were told nothing about! Under the direction of Jimmy Doolittle, Jake was to become one of the infamous Doolittle Raiders who bombed targets in Japan. Jake was the bombardier on a B-25 bomber named the BAT. Sadly, due to having to take off from the USS Hornet earlier than expected along with having a crack in the visor, after their successful bombing raid the team had to bail out over Nangchang. It was not long before Jake found himself in the presence of Japanese soldiers!Jake spent 40 months as a prisoner of war and most of those months in solitary confinement. However, instead of findingbitterness in jail, Jake found the Lord! This incredible story is one of redemption and forgiveness. Not only did Jake find forgiveness for his own life, he forgave all the Japanese soldiers/guards who had so mistreated him.Read how upon marriage and graduation from Seattle Pacific College him and his wife, Florence, dedicated their lives to serving the people of Japan and spreading the gospel throughout the country. How God opened doors for them was INCREDIBLE!Unlike many of the other Christian Heroes: Then and Now books, this one is not all about a life of working as a missionary. Unless you already know the story of Jake DeShazer (we didn't) you may well question what in the world this man is even doing in one of these books as you read through the first few chapters. HOWEVER don't let this stop you from reading this book. The leading up to Jake becoming a missionary is vitally important to the end result. This was a truly gripping and sometimes hard book to read when you read what the POW's experienced. We read this aloud to our children (11, 8 & 5) so do not hesitate to recommend it to your family.Jacob DeShazer 1912-2008

    An unlikely Instrument for God
  

*by R***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2014*

Jacob DeShazer had turned his back on God as a young man.  He felt he had control of his life and was doing well.  Then came the Japanese attack on Pear Harbor and the U.S. was thrust into WWII.  As many young men of that tiime, he cultivated a hatred for the Japanese people that festered into a deep dark place in his mind and soul.  Hatred does that to a man.  He enters in to a secret training program that ultimltely ends up with he becoming one of 'Doolittle's Raiders'.  This famous group of men were to fly bombers off of an aircraft carrier (never done before) with orders to bomb Japan.  His hatred motivated him to look forward to the mission.  The take-off and bombing were sucessful but the ill-fated planes lacked enough fuel to make it safely to China and safety.  Many were captured by the Japanese and put in to prison camps.  During his 40 months of torture, near starvation and hopelessness God speaks to Jake and his faith is renewed and his hatred removed.  After the war, Jake became a missionary to his former enemies.  He spent 30 years ministering in Japan.  This book contains good WWII history and a beautiful example of what God can do when a person submits to His will.  Near the end of the story as Jake has become an old man, he starts having serious memory problems.  Take time as you read this small section of the book to reflect on the true meaning of total forgiveness.  It will bring you, literally to your knees.
