BEYOND BELIEF: TRUE STORIES OF MILITARY CHAPLAINS “Beyond Belief” is a unique compilation of short stories by a team of authors and researchers. Herein you will find some of the most amazing stories ever told, each of them presented in an historically factual manner without hyperbole or literary license. Even more amazing is the fact that each of these stories is TRUE! The scene illustrated on the cover was chosen as a fitting example of what kind of stories we wanted to write for this book, and is a vivid and historically accurate depiction of a World War II event that in which four Army chaplains, each from different faiths, bonded based on what they had in common, to become close friends. The four gave their lives in the North Atlantic when their troop ship was sunk, going so far as to give their lifejackets to other men who had none. They became enshrined as “The Four Immortal Chaplains,” whose story is inspiring for decades. Within these pages you will find other stories of heroic Men of God who did unbelievable acts of courage and compassion. These are the stories that will leave you shaking your head in disbelief, proving as one author once wrote, “Truth is not only stranger than fiction, but far more interesting.” SHERRY DICCION, SR MGR OF GLOBAL SUPPLIER DIVERSITY, ADIENT Adient is a global manufacturer providing world class seat systems and components that offer safety, functionality, and comfort with proven quality.
