David - Biography and Photos
David Chen is the
most humble man that I have ever met. It has been a privilege to tell his story so that
his Japanese grandchildren and others can learn how God protected him from famine and
persecution in China and brought him to political asylum and retirement in the USA. David's
Chinese name has been withheld for his protection.
When writing about the
Red Guard period, I suddenly realized that David and I had each walked through
"the valley
of the shadow of death" at the same time. Thirty years ago, he was imprisoned, subjected
to cruel beatings and in total despair attempted suicide. I suffered a nervous breakdown.
In our pain, each of us called out to God, and He answered our prayers. We agree that
without our faith neither of us would be alive today.
This book is an attempt to glorify God by showing the miracles that God
performed in David's life. Throughout this fascinating story, you will see when God held
his hand, crossed his path with earthly angels or simply carried him, when life proved too
cruel.
