My Vietnam

About this book

My Vietnam chronicles the experiences of the Stemple family working with the Vietnamese in central Vietnam amidst the turmoil of the war years during the 1960s and 1970s. These incredible stories dramatically illustrate the triumphs and heart-break of life in war-torn Vietnam in a way not yet fully seen or explored. Ravi Zacharias, author and speaker "Charlotte not only offers her readers rich cultural insight but also marvelous instances in which only God in his sovereignty could weave the threads of hope and healing." Dr. Gary Benedict, President, The Christian and Missionary Alliance "...Charlotte is a master story teller!" Dr. Marvin Eyler, Former Chaplain, First Marine Division, Danang 1970-71 "Charlotte Stemple's exciting and informative new memoir is compelling reading. I recommend this captivating book to lay persons, to mission historians, and to military veterans." Peter Burgo, Editor, Alliance Life (alife) Magazine "I have met few storytellers as poignant and compelling as Charlotte Stemple. Be forewarned: unless you're willing to endure some serious eyestrain, DON'T PICK UP THIS BOOK-because you won't want to put it back down."
