Review: Just completed reading this book and was really amazed how well Bill McDonald laid down his life story. Many chapters on Vietnam will leave you spellbound at the experiences Bill had. Great stories about his ventures of travel and family life. I am happy I came across this book and look forward to another one of Bill's books!

Summary: A memoir that makes you reconsider what "reality" is
Review: Most memoirs written by Vietnam vets focus primarily on their time in Vietnam. Bill McDonald doesn't tell his story that way; he chose to let us get to know him first as a child, a child who had a very harsh and traumatic childhood, but who, despite that, was able to grow into the good and decent man that he is today. The book is written as a series of short stories, describing significant incidents in his life, up to the present. I was compelled to begin jotting down words that best described the feelings the story evoked. When I was done, I realized that my list would serve as an excellent review all by itself, especially since Jan Hornung's Foreward does such a great job of describing the book that any sort of prose I would write to try to explain it wouldn't do as good a job.

Words to describe "A Spiritual Warrior's Journey": Compelling, Heartbreaking, Inspiring, Mesmerizing, Unforgettable, Well written, Uplifting, Appalling, Chill-bump raising, Awe-inspiring poetry, Horrifying, Amazing, Thought provoking, Bittersweet, Irritating, Serene, Shameful, Heartwarming, Scary, Eerie, Touching, "Reality" challenging, Reconciliating, Moving, Joyful, Peaceful, A must-read.

Summary: The Best Book I Have Ever Read!
Review: This book will inspire and amaze you - it did me! It was hard to put down once I began to read Bill McDonald's life story. This is so different than anything I have ever read in my whole life. His story is one of a kind. What he did in Vietnam alone could be a whole book by itself.

He is a true hero. His compassion and love of life shines through in every page of his book. This book will change lives as it has mine already. His life is one of great adventures and spirituality - it kind of reads like "Rambo Meets God while in the Twilight Zone". I would love to meet this author sometime and hear him talk about some of the things he has written about in his book.

A MUST READ FOR EVERYONE! Very healing book for veterans or anyone who has over come life problems. This book will give you many things to think about and question. Nothing will seem the same after you read it. This book is life altering!

Summary: Magical, Inspiring
Review: W. H. McDonald's book, "A Spiritual Warrior's Journey", is both compelling and inspiring. His writing goes far beyond a description of his wartime experience-it probes his innermost feelings during those experiences and brings meaning and purpose to them all. In a fascinating and very different autobiography, the author explains how the horrors of war affected and changed him, and they brought insight and awareness into his life. He shares the magic of these self-discoveries with the reader in a compelling book that can only leave one breathless and anxious to meet this very special man.
