Books with title Witness

Deep in the battle-ravaged countryside of El Salvador, Dr. Charles Clements witnessed the special tragedy of children caught in the crossfire of war. Practicing medicine with only the supplies he could carry on his back, Clements would desperately operate with a Swiss Army knife, deliver a young mother's first baby during an earthquake, and narrowly escape death himself from bullets, tropical fever... and betrayal. An intensely personal odyssey of conscience, Charles Clements's story began in Vietnam, where after being a pilot he made a decision to dedicate his life to healing instead of killing -- a dedication that eventually carried him to another strife-torn land to bring his medical skills and a message of hope to a people in dire need. The result is Witness to War, an important true account that must be read by every concerned American... a gripping drama so vivid, so shocking, it will haunt our memories as it touches our hearts.

A fourteen-year old boy from a troubled family begins his quest for spiritual truth and romantic connection in "Witnessing," the first novel of "The Adventures of Audie Dale Smith." The novel's hero, Dale, feels compelled to join a religious sect as a way of helping his mother retain her sanity. He also experiences the joy and frustrations of growing up in Galilee, Oklahoma, a conservative and religious town, in the socially turbulent 1970s. But most importantly, Dale sees the girl of his dreams at a high school assembly. From that moment, there is no other girl for Dale. Complicating matters is that Dale's dreamgirl is both pretty and pious. She has a perfect family. Dale, on the other hand, has parents with, well, problems. In addition to his mother's precarious psychological condition, Dale's father, Blackie, is a tough, cynical, hard-drinking retired Navy man. With Blackie back home, the Smith household is full of acrimony and tension. To escape from the domestic drama, Dale plays sports, engages in pranks with his best friend, the irrepressible Rusty Grimes, and even begins to develop his curious mind by reading serious books. The novel comes to a dramatic conclusion with madness, serious injury, and a difficult decision that Dale has to make that determines his character for the rest of the series.

Grace Livingston Hill Lutz was an early 20th century Christian Romance novelist. She is credited with having written hundreds of short stories and novels. Her strong female characters were either solid Christian women or women who became Christian during the course of the story. Hill's message was always the same: good verses evil. The Witness grabs the reader from the first few paragraphs. The story begins in a dormitory where a group of boys attack one boy. Their original aim was to make him swear. He was a religious boy and this difference provoked the boys into their bulling of him. An older boy watches as things get out of hand. This is one of those books that you cannot put down.
