When World War II ended in Europe, many problems remained. For millions, the task was the elemental one of sheer physical survival. And for perceptive believers, life’s spiritual dimension demanded reaffirmation.
On Wings Of Faith is the firsthand account of how both physical and spiritual sustenance were restored to Latter-day Saints in European countries after the long night of war. Fred Babbel’s simple, moving narrative, taken from his detailed daily journal of these events, depicts not merely the devastation and suffering of war and its aftermath, but more importantly the faith and courage which sustained Church members during the horrors and deprivations of that period. Here are dozens of inspiring, faith-promoting stories of lives preserved, health restored, disabilities removed, and hopes fulfilled, all through faith and the power of God. Deeply impressive too are the many remarkable examples of divine power being exerted on behalf of the special mission of relief and restoration which is the subject of this book and on which the author accompanied Elder Ezra Taft Benson.
We won’t all have to face suspicious frontier guards, negotiate internationally with government officials, or plead with Russian generals. But if the Lord’s servants could invariably succeed in such encounters and the European saints could triumph over the hell that is war, as this book demonstrates, the message is clear. It is that God never fails his followers, and that the measure of their true success in life depends on their faith and faithfulness. Few messages could be more significant or exciting for the modern reader.
