Not Enough Tears

By Dave Wright

Book Overview

We were all touched by the Vietnam War in some way. Veterans, their families, friends and a whole new generation still have unanswered questions about that turbulent time. "Not Enough Tears" lets you see the good and bad through the eyes of a young army draftee sent to fight for his nation. Duty and patriotic pride quickly degenerated into a fight for survival. Taking one of the most dangerous jobs in an infantry company, Dave came home with hardly a scratch. There were no odds to explain the supernatural protection he received. After two months, that covering extended to everyone around him when he walked point. Over time, that unbelievable "luck" turned into a curse as walking point and going home became vexing choices between life and death. Like most vets, Dave thought he buried the war after coming home. Surviving the horrors of Vietnam meant he could handle anything. Thirty years later his life was falling apart. He'd given up. Leaving his family seemed to be the only way to stop the pain. Learn the lessons in "Not Enough Tears" which can bring healing to tens of thousands who are still hurting and don't understand why.

God's healing

Reviewed by David Peters for Reader Views (8/06) Often called The War With No Purpose, the Vietnam War claimed many of our brave young men in ways than we can never imagine. Many of them survived the war only to come back to an ungrateful homeland, and continuing to fight a war that never ends, the war of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Most of us know someone suffering from this disorder, but they are too proud to show the fear in their eyes. It often gets the best of them at night, while the rest of the country is asleep. Dreams haunt them - walking through the jungles and rice paddies only to be ambushed, or hearing that often too familiar click of a bomb. This is one man's tale of how God healed him through time. Under the encouragement of his wife, he began to write the stories that haunted him at night. Dave's healing has only begun with the writing of this profound book. I encourage anyone who has gone through any war, past or present, to read "Not Enough Tears." Take strength and courage in its words and begin to heal. "Not Enough Tears" is written from a Christian perspective, but people of any religion can equally gain from it.
