Product Overview
The memories remain, sharp as shrapnel fragments - the familiar and the foreign, side by side, Rocky Road ice cream and golden Buddhas. The baptismal at the Cedar Avenue Baptist Church and the color and smell of the Saigon River. Baseball and the pop-pop of sniper fire.
Through it all, a missionary father's faith shines, etched forever in the mind of his thirteen-year-old son in the midst of the horrors of Vietnam.
Through Isaac's Eyes is a powerful portrait of crossing cultures, father-son love, and faith that endures through the unthinkable. In it, Daniel Barth Peters relives his early teenage days in Saigon with his parents: The friendships that transcended cultural differences. The realities of war and of life as seen through youthful eyes. Memories of a California childhood, set against a backdrop of strange customs, strange gods, loneliness, and death.
And the towering figure of a father whose life would become a lasting testimony to his son of the kind of faith that is willing to sacrifice everything precious for the sake of the Gospel.
