This is one of the books that inspired us to record our own grandparents’ stories. We think you might enjoy it as well.
As if she were writing a letter as a grandmother to her grandchildren, Kelly J. Brown vividly portrays the story of her own grandfather, William Brown, a WWII pilot. From his childhood through his P-51 pilot years and onward, the reader gets vibrant glimpses of God’s providence weaving together the events of Bill’s life. Kelly handles the complex issues of WWII with a sensitive spirit focused on the sovereignty of God, making this a book that even young readers (or listeners) can enjoy and appreciate. Also, she masterfully draws parallels between her grandfather’s physical rescue after being shot down in the Pacific and how the Lord Jesus rescues us from sin. Authentic photographs throughout the pages add to the vintage feel. Overall, Coming In On A Wing and A Prayer is a phenomenal example of a granddaughter honoring her grandfather, a compelling biography for all ages, an inspiring story of courage and sacrifice, a study in the Providence of God, a real-life look at WWII and - most assuredly - a book to have on your personal bookshelf for generations to come.
