Description

God does answer prayers, and Blessed in Battle exemplifies how prayer and belief in God during combat work. He brought about miraculous results for six months that prevented the loss of life and kept severely wounded soldiers alive until they could be evacuated off the bloodstained battlefields. God's grace and love protected Dick Lyle's platoon from those evils of war, with only one soldier under his command killed in action and taken into heaven's army. Blessed in Battle recounts how:

• God arranged for gunships and a medevac when regular channels could not.
• God enabled missing personnel to be found within a few hours in a vast area adjacent to the Cambodian border and filled with communist forces.
• God used the Holy Spirit to warn of a dangerous situation.

And there is much more. As a twenty-year-old, newly commissioned infantry officer from the US Army's twenty-two-week Officer Candidate School, Dick's arrival in South Vietnam and the Vietnam War was filled with tremendous apprehension and uncertainty. After his first week in combat, he needed to rely more on his Christian faith and on divine help to fulfill the awesome responsibility of ensuring that everyone in his platoon made it home safely. He did.
