Their ensuing journey, recounted in Keeping Faith: A Father-Son Story About Love and the United States Marine Corps, struck a fervent chord among the many Americans with a family member in the military, inspired personal communications from three American presidents, and propelled the book and the authors through many printings and onto Oprah, 20/20 and the New York Times extended bestseller&#8217;s list. In Faith of Our Sons, Frank Schaeffer picks up his family&#8217;s ongoing story as Corporal John Schaeffer is deployed to the Middle East on the day Gulf War II begins. Schaeffer&#8217;s powerfully moving and timely account of the universal experience of losing a child&#8212;either temporarily or permanently&#8212;to war and his attendant emotions (from pride to panic to rage and back again) is punctuated throughout by the voices of the many others in Frank&#8217;s situation, thousands of other parents and children, who continue to pour their hearts out to the Schaeffers in countless letters since the publication of Keeping Faith: from those waiting anxiously for loved ones to come home to those who know they never will.</div> 454990 15 4 2004 Faith of Our Sons: A Father's Wartime Diary total:9|5:4|4:4|3:1| 9 39 16 0 972934 0786713224 9780786713226 9 0 4.33 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1179919907m/972934.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/972934.Faith_of_Our_Sons_A_Father_s_Wartime_Diary 4 0 false Sat Aug 01 08:38:08 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 01 08:38:08 -0700 2009 972934 0786713224 9780786713226 9 0 4.33 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1179919907m/972934.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/972934.Faith_of_Our_Sons_A_Father_s_Wartime_Diary 4 0 false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Jul 14 07:35:16 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 14 07:35:45 -0700 2009 972934 0786713224 9780786713226 9 0 4.33 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1179919907m/972934.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/972934.Faith_of_Our_Sons_A_Father_s_Wartime_Diary 0 0 false Sun May 03 13:06:10 -0700 2009 Sun May 03 13:06:10 -0700 2009 972934 0786713224 9780786713226 9 0 4.33 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1179919907m/972934.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/972934.Faith_of_Our_Sons_A_Father_s_Wartime_Diary 4 0 false Tue Feb 17 11:26:26 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 17 11:26:26 -0800 2009 972934 0786713224 9780786713226 9 0 4.33 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1179919907m/972934.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/972934.Faith_of_Our_Sons_A_Father_s_Wartime_Diary 0 0 false Sun Feb 01 13:37:53 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 01 14:41:33 -0800 2009 972934 0786713224 9780786713226 9 0 4.33 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1179919907m/972934.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/972934.Faith_of_Our_Sons_A_Father_s_Wartime_Diary 0 0 false Sat Jan 31 12:51:27 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 31 12:51:27 -0800 2009 972934 0786713224 9780786713226 9 0 4.33 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1179919907m/972934.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/972934.Faith_of_Our_Sons_A_Father_s_Wartime_Diary 0 0 false Wed Jan 28 09:26:52 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 28 09:26:52 -0800 2009 972934 0786713224 9780786713226 9 0 4.33 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1179919907m/972934.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/972934.Faith_of_Our_Sons_A_Father_s_Wartime_Diary 5 0 false Sun Jan 18 06:16:47 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 18 06:16:56 -0800 2009 972934 0786713224 9780786713226 9 0 4.33 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1179919907m/972934.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/972934.Faith_of_Our_Sons_A_Father_s_Wartime_Diary 0 0 false Sat Aug 16 15:43:31 -0700 2008 Sat Aug 16 15:43:32 -0700 2008 972934 0786713224 9780786713226 9 0 4.33 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1179919907m/972934.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/972934.Faith_of_Our_Sons_A_Father_s_Wartime_Diary 0 0 false Sat May 17 01:00:08 -0700 2008 Sat May 17 01:00:08 -0700 2008 972934 0786713224 9780786713226 9 0 4.33 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1179919907m/972934.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/972934.Faith_of_Our_Sons_A_Father_s_Wartime_Diary 0 0 false Sat Mar 29 19:11:50 -0700 2008 Sat Mar 29 19:12:06 -0700 2008 972934 0786713224 9780786713226 9 0 4.33 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1179919907m/972934.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/972934.Faith_of_Our_Sons_A_Father_s_Wartime_Diary 5 0 false Tue Mar 04 20:18:22 -0800 2008 Tue Mar 04 20:18:22 -0800 2008 972934 0786713224 9780786713226 9 0 4.33 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1179919907m/972934.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/972934.Faith_of_Our_Sons_A_Father_s_Wartime_Diary 4 0 false Fri Jan 18 14:54:48 -0800 2008 Fri Jan 18 14:54:48 -0800 2008 972934 0786713224 9780786713226 9 0 4.33 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1179919907m/972934.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/972934.Faith_of_Our_Sons_A_Father_s_Wartime_Diary 5 0 false Tue Feb 05 07:07:40 -0800 2008 Sun Jan 13 12:43:00 -0800 2008 Sun Jan 13 12:43:12 -0800 2008 972934 0786713224 9780786713226 9 0 4.33 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1179919907m/972934.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/972934.Faith_of_Our_Sons_A_Father_s_Wartime_Diary 3 0 false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Mon Nov 05 15:48:18 -0800 2007 Mon Nov 05 15:49:35 -0800 2007 972934 0786713224 9780786713226 9 0 4.33 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1179919907m/972934.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/972934.Faith_of_Our_Sons_A_Father_s_Wartime_Diary 5 0 false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Mon Oct 08 20:38:46 -0700 2007 Mon Oct 08 20:39:08 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=972934
