slid his pistol, knife, and ration packets into the pockets of his
leather jacket and edged toward the open hatch of the B-52 bomber.

One of the famous Doolittle Raiders who first attacked Japan
after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Jacob DeShazer knew this one-way
mission was dangerous. Indeed, it led to his capture as a prisoner
of war. Beaten, malnourished, and alone in his cell, Jacob was
given a Bible - and far away from home, this American soldier
became a Christian. After the war, Jacob returned to japan and
served his former enemy for thirty years as a missionary. His
testimony of forgiveness and reconciliation - of love over hate -
inspires a powerful gospel message for our lives today.
