About the Book

Book:  Miracles for Veterans
Author: Joan Hunter
Genre:  Non-fiction, Christian Living
Release Date: May 15, 2020
Miracles for VeteransMilitary veterans experience stress and trauma that civilians cannot even begin to imagine. No matter what branch they were in, whether they saw combat or not, their service left an indelible mark on their bodies, hearts, and minds, souls and spirits. Even those who have not suffered external injuries can be affected by post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, anger, and other issues. They need healing on multiple levels.
Joan Hunter tackles all of the problems that veterans face in her new book, Miracles for Veterans. She covers some of the root causes; the positive aspects of service, such as growth and maturity, as well as the negative effects, including physical, emotional, and spiritual injury; and the consequences of service on general and cellular memory. Joan offers guidance to those ministering to veterans, healing prayers, and insights on prevention.
Among the testimonials included in Joan’s book is that of Auston O’Neill, 71, who travels throughout the United States to play “Taps” on his bugle for any deceased veteran whose family requests it as a member of Bugles Across America.
Auston is battling terminal cancer that has spread to his lymph nodes, but his faith is strong. “You know, I believe in God for my healing,” he says. “I’m getting stronger as the days go by. I’m not getting weaker.”
Joan notes God is limitless and His Word is true. He is ever ready to heal us if we only will believe.

 MY REVIEW 
The book has some good information about PTSD which I think is helpful. The author goes into details about the triggers and things to try to avoid. Depression is one of the symptoms of PTSD. Her in-depth look at depression was good. I liked the personal stories and realized I knew one of the veterans personally. We went to church together in the building where Joan Hunt Ministries is located now. I enjoyed reading his story and finding out some things I didn’t know he had dealt with in the past. His wife is a wonderful person and every time the church doors were open they were there to serve. 
I can’t say I agree with everything the author wrote because I think sometimes medication is needed in certain situations. Her ministry is about healing so I understand that her heart is to have faith that God will heal you without any medication. She does include scriptures that are helpful. I didn’t like the promotion of her ministry throughout the book. In the testimonies some give her ministry  credit for their healing. God is our healer and sometimes even though we are faithful He doesn’t heal us the way we want. 
The book is good in some areas but overall I was disappointed with the obvious promotion of her ministry. The book is useful for veterans in the respect that they can relate to the testimonies in the book.  I live very close to the building where the author ministers at and I will need to visit it to get a better understanding of her teachings. 
I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.
