A General's Spiritual Journey

Book came quickly, in fine shape and at a very reasonable price. Content was suprisingly inspirational.

A Journey Observed

Written by Toby Warren, General's Moore, friend, confidant and driver, the manuscript of this book was never intended for publication. It was originally written only for General Moore's adult children, to give them a view and perspective of their father's deep spiritualty as seen and experienced by one of his closest friends. When they read it, and as others read it, it eventually found its way to a small publishing house and eventually to the domain where it has received tremendous acclaim and admiration, especially by the military and in particular by military serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. This book is not intended to be a biography or a history. It is what it was intended to be. A snapshot look at a great man's spirtual journey and its impact and influence on him at this point late in his life. Is it a book written by a an adoring friend? Yes. But that doesn't change the truth one bit. Not about the man and not about the truths it contains. Few of us will command men in combat, especially combat as deadly as that described in General Moore's book, "We Were Soldiers Once and Young," but we can learn from great men. We ought to learn and need to learn from great men. This book might best be described as "the rest of the story" in terms of General Moore. And it whets the appetite for this forthcoming book, "We are Soliders Still," due out in August, 2008. All three, taken together, give us an intimate portrait of an American military hero and his deep abiding faith. A critic could rip this little book apart from a literary and critical standpoint, but to do so would be to miss the whole point for which it was written. And for which is has been published.

A deftly written and intriguing biography

Co-Author of the New York Times #1 Best Seller "We Were Soldiers Once...and Young" is more into the life of Lieutenant General Hal Moore, as told and observed by his faithful driver. "A General's Spiritual Journey" is his life story, covering his eventful life from emerging from West Point, miraculously surviving both the Korean and Vietnam wars, alongside keeping inside him what always mattered the most to him - his holy relationship with God. "A General's Spiritual Journey" is a deftly written and intriguing biography, highly recommended for community library biography collections with a crossover to Christian and Military interest groups.

Understanding Life thru a Warrior's Eyes

This short book is an intimate Spiritual portrait of one of America's great military leaders. In the simple text that makes up this story you will be allowed a window into a man's soul and have the privilege of making some decisions about your life and beliefs. This book is not a 'how to' or even a 'you should' but more a man's personal account of wrestling with the cruelties of life and finding that answer to that quesiton, "why"? It was uplifting and honest. No pretense and no pride. Good words to live by no matter your conclusions on the source.
