{"product_id":"grandfathers-journal-tom-maxwell-9781490850856","title":"Grandfather's Journal: A Grandson's Journey into His Grandfather's Life","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 2012, after sharing a number of sea stories with my only grandson, I was told I needed to write a life journal to include my years as a child in the Philippine Islands just following World War II. The journal, which addressed a time from June 7, 1935 to December 28, 2013, includes the important events of my life, including my twenty-seven years in the US Navy. As could be expected, there are more reflections from my years as a naval aviator, flying combat missions in Vietnam and numerous secret missions against the Soviet Union during the Cold War. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNot as exciting, but just as important, was my journal following my naval service after my retirement in December 1982. Most importantly, I have shared what took place in my life on June 9, 1977, two days after my 42nd birthday and two days before my oldest son graduated from high school, when I accepted Jesus Christ as the Lord and Savior of my life. This event radically changed my life and immediately healed a broken family. It also addressed the thirty-plus years in which I was called as a volunteer to serve the least of these in our prison systems. If I have a desire for the journal, it would be that it encourage others to address the importance of their spiritual needs before age forty-two and that it would challenge my grandchildren in their walk with Christ.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tom Maxwell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1490850856\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781490850856\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e WestBow Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.33d","brand":"Tom Maxwell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44066053456127,"sku":"9781490850856","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_998bc536-afbe-42b3-b877-c0fead7d06bb.jpg?v=1685405069","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/grandfathers-journal-tom-maxwell-9781490850856","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
