Book Description
The true story of the lead pilot of the Pearl Harbor attack and his conversion to Christianity. “As I looked across at my companion, I marveled afresh at the goodness of God-this man was my enemy; now he is my brother! Such is the miracle of the grace of God.”—Rev. Elmer Sachs, Director of Sky Pilots International. These words were written of Mitsuo Fuchida, who led the first wave of the air attacks on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 as a Captain in the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service. After the war, Fuchida was introduced to the gospel through the testimony of Jacob DeShazer. He began reading the Bible and eleven years after Pearl Harbor, he became a Christian. Fuchida spoke boldly of his conversion in his native Japan, and a few years later, he was recruited by Rev. Elmer Sachs to join Sky Pilots International. He came to the United States where he had the opportunity to share his story across the country. From Pearl Harbor to Calvary is the story of Mitsuo Fuchida’s conversion and ministry in his own words. Central to his narrative is the message that God works through even the most improbable of circumstances to further the gospel.

After a scandalous love affair came his remarkable conversion to Christianity and years of touring the world as an evangelist. His tale is an informative, personal look at the war "from the other side."

Book Description
The Videos "The Return of the Bombardier," & "DeShazer" & the book "DeShazer" all tell the story of Jacob DeShazer, one of the 80 original Doolittle Raiders, who, in 16 B25 bombers, bombed Japan on April 18, 1942. Captured & tortured, he spent 40 months as a prisoner of war, 36 months in solitary confinement. Five of the men were shot, one died of malnutrition & starvation, the remainder were pardoned by the emperor, but interned. During his solitary confinement he was given a Bible to read for three weeks. He read it through more than five times, & received Christ as his personal saviour. This brought such peace & joy that even the guards noticed the change. On August 20, 1945, the war ended. When asked by the media what his plans were DeShazer said he was coming back to Japan as a missionary. He returned to America, went to Seattle Pacific College, now University, married & went back to Japan as a missionary on December 28, 1948. Some 150,000 greeted him, & more than 30,000 made professions of faith. One of DeShazer's greatest converts was Captain Mitsuo Fuchida, leader of the Japanese squadron which bombed Pearl Harbor. The work of Jacob DeShazer goes on in the lives of thousands of converts who have seen the love of God in DeShazer's life & testimony. It continues to be told by DeShazer himself as he humbly seeks to tell men of the love of God. DeShazer & his wife live in Salem, Oregon.
