My Soul to Keep: A Journey of Faith

Through the impassioned and emotion-evoking stories of two men half a world apart we get a look at aspects of the Vietnam war that were not in the news, and of life after the war for the soldiers who went home and for those left behind under North Vietnamese control. We become witnesses to the impact of evangelism and cultural imperialism as we are both inspired by the devout and unwavering faith of this Christian convert and tormented by the years of torture he and his family sustained as a result of their faith. We are compelled to think about what it means to take responsibility for who one is and what one does. And as we grapple along with one man’s questions of the practices of his faith and another man’s struggle to be able to live his faith, we grow in our own understanding of what it means to be Christian.
