On Nature's Battlefield--A Must Read 5. April 2006
Von Richard F. Miller - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This is one of the most remarkable accounts of one person's struggle to heal a broken world that I've ever read. An Air Force Academy graduate, the author has confronted man-made battlefields, notably in Iraq during OIF-I, where she accompanied the invasion force on the road to Baghdad. But nothing prepared her for Nature's wrath from Hurricane Katrina. In responding to the needs of those hit hardest by that disaster, she found a human community worth connecting to. While this was the experience of many who went South after the storm, few are able to write as evocatively and eloquently about the experience as Ms. Espinoza. The result is a beautifully told story of disaster, faith, recovery and healing, an account unabashedly rooted in the finest traditions of Judeo-Christianity. A must read.

Through the Eye of the Storm review 14. April 2006
Von Christian Capobianco - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
I just finished Cholene Espinoza's book and in addition to the beatiful writing style and the engaging story contained in the book, I found it to be an incredibly thought-provoking and fascinating journey through one woman's life. Ms. Espinoza's struggles with herself were quite familiar to me as I expect they will be to many people. However, I was truly impressed with the way that she chose to act upon those struggles to make life better for those around her. The kindness and fervor with which she tackled the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina was absolutely inspiring and I hope that many people read the book and feel compelled to do their part to help the people of Mississippi. I highly recommend this book for not only an amazing story but for the kind of inspiration that seems to be missing in so many parts of the world today.

Open your wallets! All profits go to rebuild the gulf. 20. April 2006
Von Darla Shine - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
Any mom out there who was watching the coverage of Katrina on tv, wishing they could do more, here is your chance. Not all of us have the guts that Cholene and Ellen did to rent a truck, fill it with goods and drive down to the middle of a disaster zone. But we can all thank God they did. And we can all open our wallets and buy this book. Besides the fact that it is a great read, all the profits go to build a community center for the children hit the hardest in the gulf. Surely, you all can swing less than $15 for this. This is a call to action! Order it now and do your part to rebuild hope for these kids. Even though it still is not enough. It is the least we can do. You will read just how horrific it was for the people in the gulf. And how quickly we have forgotten. So tonight when you cozy up in your bed with your laptop think of all the children still living in shelters, homeless, and they will be that way for a very long time coming. Together we can at least give them a place they can go visit to play some ball, use the computer, and socialize in a clean, decent environment. Have a heart. Hit that order button.
