Produktbeschreibung

Third Chance is the inspiring true story of Richard W. Turner, Sr., a decorated World War II pilot, artist, and man of faith, who faced death in 1998 and came back changed. What began as a routine hospital visit turned into a multi-week crisis and a spiritual reckoning that would transform the rest of his life.

Turner takes readers through the milestones of his life: growing up in upstate New York, serving as a C-46 pilot in the China-Burma-India Theater, surviving mechanical failures, lightning strikes, and narrow escapes, raising a family, and working in service to others. At every turn, he comes to recognize God's grace and the angels, both earthly and divine, who carried him.

Rooted in scripture and enriched by humor and humility, this book explores what Turner calls his "Third Chance", and the impact it has had on his life. At the heart of it all is Caroline, his beloved wife, whose strength, love, and prayer became his anchor.

Whether you are in a season of hardship, reflection, or renewal, this book offers hope and reassurance that your story is still unfolding, and that grace may be closer than you think.

Autorenporträt

Richard W. Turner, Sr. (1924-2004) was a World War II veteran, decorated pilot, artist, author, and devoted husband whose life was marked by service, creativity, humility, and deep faith. Born in Johnson City, New York, Richard answered the call of duty during World War II, serving with distinction in the China-Burma-India (CBI) Theater. As a pilot, he flew 72 1/2 missions over the treacherous Himalayan supply route known as The Hump," an experience that shaped his character and perspective for the rest of his life. After the war, Richard became a leader in the Boy Scouts of America, a gifted artist and woodcarver, and a man who loved music, nature, and the written word. He shared 56 years with the love of his life, Caroline, and together they built a legacy of family, faith, and service. In his later years, Richard turned to writing to reflect on his life's most defining moments. His first book, Third Chance, recounted a miraculous recovery and spiritual renewal. His second book, Revelation ---at Last, followed the loss of his beloved Caroline, capturing his journey through grief and sharing stories of the healing power of God's love. His third book, Stories from The Hump, recounts his military service and wartime experiences, honoring the bravery of the men who served alongside him. Richard passed away on August 4, 2004. Through the devoted efforts of his daughter, Sharyn Elizabeth Turner Larson; grandson, Erik Richard Larson; and great-granddaughter Madailein Larson, his stories live on: testaments of courage, love, and faith.
