earthly angels
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.
