Often called The War With No Purpose, the Vietnam War claimed many of our brave young men in ways than we can never imagine.  Many of them survived the war only to come back to an ungrateful homeland, and continuing to fight a war that never ends, the war of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.  Most of us know someone suffering from this disorder, but they are too proud to show the fear in their eyes.  It often gets the best of them at night, while the rest of the country is asleep.  Dreams haunt them - walking through the jungles and rice paddies only to be ambushed, or hearing that often too familiar click of a bomb.   

This is one man’s tale of how God healed him through time.  Under the encouragement of his wife, he began to write the stories that haunted him at night.  Dave’s healing has only begun with the writing of this profound book.  I encourage anyone who has gone through any war, past or present, to read “Not Enough Tears.”  Take strength and courage in its words and begin to heal.  “Not Enough Tears” is written from a Christian perspective, but people of any religion can equally gain from it.
