I loved this book. Metcalf was my sixth grade teacher! Amazing story. He was a foreboding presence when I was 11 years old. Now with adult eyes, I see so much more; I can see through his eyes the experience that shaped him.
Nice vamp tale… the sub crew and deep dark ocean give the story an unsettling setting.

I believe this book and workbook has had the most profound detox of my heart, mind and soul. Working through each step allowed me to clean out all the conscious and unconscious lies, hurt, anger and disappointments in my life. Allowing me to sincerely be set free to feel God’s truth, love, forgivness and peace..
While better focused on the Chinese perspective of historical events it still feels like a western view/interpretation of the Chinese view. Solid history though but did feel a bit rushed at the end as it covered this past century.
