I can't think of anyone in my family except my uncle who was a British soldier in WW 2 and captured and held as a POW. He spoke of the starvation he experienced but finally rescued and how he got back home.My brother was a missionary MD in Liberia and Nigeria and has written about his harrowing experiences there during wartime and the present. sm wileygreen1(at)yahoo(dot)comsharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01667697363749218857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-45219112745753325132015-10-01T18:48:12.700-04:002015-10-01T18:48:12.700-04:00Yes, I enjoy novels where characters have unusual ...Yes, I enjoy novels where characters have unusual jobs or hobbies. It makes for exciting reading. I have friends who are in law enforcement and a son-in-law who is a Military Policeman in the Army. Our attitude (friends and family) is that we are not guaranteed to live another day. A well-trained law enforcement officer or military police officer can take measures to protect themselves. Families make an effort to enjoy each day and make sure the tell each other I love you. My son-in-law and family find some activity to do together on his days off. <br /><br />I loved reading Love's Every Whisper and I am ordering Love's Unfading Light.Kathy Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13058521531784778668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-39029443653700329432015-09-30T19:52:27.421-04:002015-09-30T19:52:27.421-04:00You're welcome, Nancee.

It takes great strength of character to take responsibility for someone else's life while at the same time risking their own lives. This makes for exciting and very interesting reading. Many of my favorite books are based right here in Michigan. Lake Superior is as deadly as any ocean when the storms roll in.

My nephew is a Chaplain in the Army - he is stationed in the states now, but has been stationed in Afghanistan and other places where he served the men on the front lines of attack. I think there is always some element of worry when a loved one is involved in an occupation of great danger, however, there is also peace for each person who follows God's plan for his/her life, believes God is in control and works everything to his/her good.<br /><br />Thanks for the interesting post, Naomi, and the giveaway opportunity - I'd love to read both of your books!!<br /><br />bonnieroof60(at)yahoo(dot)com bontonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02852536941656729576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-32694968843291311672015-09-30T12:36:08.813-04:002015-09-30T12:36:08.813-04:00I think I'd be the same way, Loraine.
