Roger L. Helle's newly released "A Time to Kill, a Time to Heal" is an intense memoir of emotional battles and healing in the wake of the Vietnam War.

Meadville, PA, Feb. 21, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "A Time to Kill, a Time to Heal": a potent story of salvation, is the creation of published author Roger L. Helle, a highly decorated Vietnam War Marine vet based in Chattanooga, Tennessee, currently still doing traveling ministry with his wife after retiring from four decades of teen ministry.

Helle writes, "Ron entered the long hospital corridor looking for his brother Roger. After searching the ward unsuccessfully, he approached a doctor standing by the bed of a patient. 'I'm Sergeant Helle's brother,' he said. 'How is he?'
"The doctor looked at Ron and said, 'I'm sorry, son, but your brother is going to die. There's nothing else we can do.'
"Just a few beds away, drifting in and out of consciousness, Roger heard the doctor's death sentence. Not yet twenty-three years old, he felt fear grip his heart in a way he had not even experienced on the battlefield. That fear caused him to do something he had never done before. Roger silently prayed, 'God, if there is a God, if you let me live, I'll do anything you want!' Then he slipped mercifully back into a drug-induced sleep.
That prayer would be answered in a way Roger could never have imagined, but only after years of nightmares, alcohol, and tortured emotional battles. Peace did come at last as Roger not only made peace with Vietnam, but the emotional pain of his past as well."

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Roger Helle's new book expresses the power of God's grace on the battlefields of life, both physical and spiritual.

Helle shares a deeply moving story of his own journey to seeing the light, as well as the mission trips to Vietnam to reconcile with the effects of the war, mirroring his own healing with that of the war-torn citizens he returns to help.
