ARMY SPECIALIST BRIAN OTIS & PASTOR JOHN M. OTIS will address the theme of their new book DELIVERED BY ANGELS: GOD's Providence For An American Soldier in Iraq . The book chronicles Brian's year long deployment to Iraq, May 2005-May 2006, during which he truly walked through the valley of the shadow of death on numerous occasions. From a human perspective, Brian should have died several times, but God's mercy and grace were wonderfully displayed towards him. This book demonstrates the personal struggles and challenges that Brian faced as a Christian soldier, dealing with the loss of friends, the prospects of his own death, and the pain of having to kill the enemy. Rarely does the public have the opportunity to look into the soul of a Christian soldier during combat.The book also chronicles life on the home front for Brian's parents as they had to deal with a son in a dangerous war zone. Brian's father, John M. Otis, is a Presbyterian minister (RPCUS) in Corpus Christi, Texas . Numerous times John would send lengthy emails, seeking to encourage his son from God's Word to remain faithful as a Christian witness and to trust in his God to see him through the challenges. Delivered By Angels: God's Providence For An American Soldier in Iraq is must reading for those who want to be inspired with the great truth that God loves His children and will do amazing things on their behalf.
