Unchained Eagle: From Prisoner of War to Prisoner of Christ

Summary: Passionate, yet gut wrenching success story
Review: I am probably the least probable review writer ever but I just finished reading "UNCHAINED EAGLE..." for the second time. After I finished it the first time, I e-mailed many friends/family members to recommend it to them.

If asked who might enjoy this wonderful works, I would say anyone who has never become all that he/she expected to be or all that their family and friends thought they should have been.

I'd say all who are looking for a total success story from someone who endured more opportunities for failure than any ten people you have ever met personally.

Also, any and all who lack direction in their life.

I believe it should be a mandatory read for anyone serving or those who have ever served in the military, and also for anyone who has ever stepped foot in any church or is in the least way inquisitive about the management of a church.

Lastly, I can only say that I firmly believe that anyone who reads it, no matter what their station in life, will be better for having read it.

Summary: A fitting Title
Review: I just fishished reading this book. I really enjoyed it. I must say, the title was very fitting. This author has certainly led an interesting life. He is quite the man to overcome all of those obstacles along the way. He illustrates that The Lord does move in mysterious ways.

Summary: Lessons from an Everyman's Hero
Review: Robert Certain's biographical sketch is more than the story of one Vietnam POW who survived his ordeal with strength, honor and integrity. It is truly the story of one man wrestling with his call to serve, first as a Navigator over targets in Vietnam and then over flocks of Christians seeking God through the Church. Fr. Certain's tale cuts to the core of what it means to serve and serve faithfully. Beyond the loyalty to his oath as an officer Certain presents a compelling story of his loyalty to his devoted wife who stands by him during his time in the Hanoi Hilton and then, how his faith in God made him give himself over to Christ.
For those who knew the times and appreciated what our Veterans did for their nation it is a compelling tale. For those born after the Vietnam War Robert Certain's book will help you capture the times and trials of this troubled period through the eyes of one who lived it vividly. Every veteran can share in his fears, hopes, joys, adventures and ultimate victory over his captors. Every Christian can find their own path to redemption by accompanying Fr. Certain on his journey from Prisoner of War to Prisoner of Christ.
