As World War II raged, millions of men and women confronted injury, destruction, separation from home and loved ones, chaos, and death. These challenges and traumas and many others forced an entire generation of everyday heroes to take stock of their lives. And in the process, many turned to God in ways they never had before. In Faith Under Fire, you'll experience scenes of astonishing bravery, moments of heart-breaking loss, and a pervasive sense of love for God, neighbor, and country that was strong enough to transcend denominational and national differences, inspiring selfless acts of courage and compassion under the worst of circumstances. From the Catholic chaplain who offered mercy among the carnage of Iwo Jima, to the Pentecostal boy who was saved from an incoming shell by the voice of God calling his name, to the young wife praying that her husband would survive life in a concentration camp, to the Tuskegee Airman who fought both totalitarianism and racism, these stories reveal the power of faith that sustained these heroes when there was nowhere else to turn. Award-winning author Steve Rabey presents more than twenty firsthand accounts of faith under pressure, many of them illustrated with war-time photos, letters, and journal entries. At a time when many who lived through these trying times are dying, their stories live on, passing on a legacy of faith and fortitude to future generations.

At great risk to their own lives and the lives of their ten children, Bernard and Dora Prinzen sheltered seven downed Allied airmen in German-occupied Holland during the last tumultuous months of World War II. Fifty years later, Doris Mayberry, the wife of one of the airmen, 2nd Lieutenant Owen L. Mayberry, USAAF, wrote down the story of the courageous Prinzen family and of the seven airmen and produced the initial manuscript of Seven On A Mat. Under dire circumstances after the end of the war, the Prinzens emigrated from their war-ravaged country to the tranquil farming community of Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada. They brought with them their remarkable wartime experience of working closely with the Dutch Underground to keep the Allied airmen out of the hands of the Nazis. In 2020, on the eve of the 75th anniversary of Victory-in-Europe Day (VE Day), the youngest of the Prinzen children, Benny, who at age four had been an active participant in the wartime events described in Seven On A Mat, passed along a copy of Doris Mayberry's manuscript to the Prince Edward Historical Society. To commemorate the VE Day anniversary, the Prince Edward Historical Society is proud to publish this remarkable account of faith, luck and courage during World War II.
