Blaze of Light: The Inspiring True Story of Green Beret Medic Gary Beikirch, Medal of Honor Recipient

Blaze of Light is quite outside of the types of books I usually read, but I am so glad I read it.  This amazing true story is incredibly powerful and inspiring.  Gary Beikirch is truly an American hero both on the battlefield and in life.

While this complimentary book was provided for review by WaterBrook Multnomah, no other compensation was given.  All remarks are my personal and honest opinions.

When You a Brave explores finding courage within yourself.  It is a lovely book that includes beautiful illustrations and rich use of literary devices.  Although a picture book, it would make a terrific read aloud for older students.
