Book Cover & Preview Text
This is the story of thousands of brave young men, liv¬ing and dead, who did their duty to the fullest in a war of attrition that they were not allowed to win. They never ran, never abandoned our wounded, and never stopped loving, even when our own people abandoned them upon their return home. It is also the story of Jonathan fleeing, like Jonah, from God’s call, his traumatic experiences in the depth of Vietnam’s jungles, his subsequent nightmares, and his long quest for peace. It is, too, a message of hope to those who live in pain and despair.

About the Book
This is the story of the experiences of Jonathan in the Vietnam War. It is a story of death, violence, pain, and sorrow; of nightmares and disillusions, but it is also a story of God’s healing and his message of hope and prosperity.
The Prayer of Jonah—From the Depths of Vietnam Jungles is the story of Jonathan, the Jonah of the modern world, disobeying God’s call and finding himself in the belly of the “depths of Vietnam jungles.”
After returning from Vietnam, Jonathan, like all the soldiers returning home, was not welcomed by society, especially the hippie movement, calling them “assassins,” “baby killers,” and all kind of insults.
Jonathan received the call of God for the second time and like Jonah, obeyed the Lord and went to the city to deliver God’s message, “a 9-1-1 emergency call” to the great city. He too went in search of his brother, Carlitos, and gave him “a 9-1-1 message” of salvation.
