Harry and Eddie

Written by Beverly Joan Boulware. 48 pages.

Book Review by Debi Pearl

One of the most powerful prophecies ever fulfilled happened in 1948 when God gathered his people Israel out of the nations and restored them to the land he gave to Abraham. The modern nation of Israel was born. Never before has any group of people held onto their nationality, religion, language, and desire to return to their original land after nearly 2,000 years of dispersion into the nations.

The book Harry and Eddie tells the story of just how tenuous the circumstances were that led to this miracle. It is the story of the friendship of two young men, fighting together in World War I, going their separate ways on two different continents, and then a forty-five minute encounter that led to the fulfillment of the 2,700-year-old prophecy.

This is a faith-building book. I cried, yelled with joy, and clapped my hands giving praise to God for using little people to do a great big mighty thing. I loved the quiet simplicity of the unfolding drama of which few people have ever heard.

The book is written by a university professor, Beverly Joan Boulware, for students of all ages. Harry and Eddie is filled with original historical pictures that add interest to the story. Although it is a short, simple book, any believer who loves prophecy will thoroughly enjoy reading this true story. Sunday School classes will find it fascinating as they read together how God used one mild-mannered, simple man to change all of history. I highly recommend it to ALL homeschoolers.
