Author Glenn Thomas is the father of a young Marine who served with the 2nd Battalion, 8th Marines (2/8) during Operation Iraqi Freedom this past year. During the lead-up and combat phases of the war last year, his son, his family, and numerous other believers within 2/8 and their families experienced the incredible leading of God in prayer, and the Marines of 2/8 experienced the supernatural protection of God in the battles.

Glenn was compelled to document the amazing actions and testimonies of many of those involved. He felt this story needed to be told to this generation and those following. The manuscript was carefully researched and written. Over forty interviews were conducted with the various Marines and family members involved. One amazing fact is that every officer of the battalion gave credit to God for having protected them through divine intervention. Despite being at the center of some of the heaviest fighting of the war, not one Marine from 2/8 was killed or missing in action, and every one of the forty wounded remained on active duty.

This work has received very favorable reviews from many military leaders, including retired Marine General (four-star) Carleton W. Fulford, former commander of U.S. forces in NATO, who wrote the book's foreword.

"As a former Marine and committed Christian, I can heartily recommend God Saw Them Through. Admitting my own prejudice (I was in the 2nd Battalion, 8th Marines years ago), this is a great, Gripping story. It also underscores why it is such a noble profession for a Christian to take up arms. It is the ultimate expression of love for neighbor." —CHARLES W. COLSON, PRISON FELLOWSHIP, WASHINGTON, DC

“I have a firsthand knowledge of the events Glenn Thomas so vividly describes...I encourage every reader, military and civilian, to carefully consider the story contained in these pages.” —SEMPER FIDELIS, C. W. FULFORD, JR., GENERAL, UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS, RETIRED

“As you read, you’ll discover a slice of history won by the brave men of the 2nd Battalion, 8th Marines...the example of what all Americans should hope for when the nation calls for military action.” —KERRY SANDERS, NBC NEWS CORRESPONDENT
