God chose the life of Eddy Ie Swieson, the "dying baby" whom He snatched from the gates of death in the Java slum and saved from blindness and crippling illness, and then from death when the Japanese seized his home-village, and from murder by fanatical rebels. This book tells the story of the transformation of that dying infant into one of America's distinguished and fruitful servants of Jesus Christ. As I marveled along with Eddy over his miraculous recovery from near-death, blindness, and crippling illness, to his present healty life and productive ministry, I marvel as well over the love God and Christ revealed to all of us in other miraculous ways. --Sen. Mark O. Hatfield We Westerners like stories of people who have overcome poverty and deprivation. When I read Eddy's fantastic story, I was reminded of the familiar hymn 'Amazing Grace'. Those of us privileged to know him love him because he demonstrates his love for Christ in ways we wish we did. Those who will come to know Eddy through reading this marvelous book will want to meet him. --Cal Thomas, syndicated columnist The angels must have had a good laugh when they learned who it was that God had chosen. It sounds, even now, like a divine practical joke. --Howard Norton, Pulitzer prize-winning journalist --Howard Norton, Pulitzer prize-winning journalist --Howard Norton, Pulitzer prize-winning journalist We Westerners like stories of people who have overcome poverty and deprivation.
