No Bullet Got Me Yet: The Relentless Faith of Father Kapaun by John Stansifer

emotional inspiring sad medium-paced

4.0

A story of humanity in the midst of the hell that is war, No Bullet Got Me Yet is largely comprised of correspondence from Fr. Kapaun and from those with whom he served.  It details Kapaun’s childhood in Kansas, his early years as a beloved priest, and his time as an Army Chaplain, most notably in the Korean War, during which he died as a POW.  The actions of this playful and Christlike man, as described by his comrades, are stunning, heartbreaking, and most-deserving of sainthood.  Though, just as Fr. Kapaun served soldiers of all religions, readers need not be Catholic to enjoy this story.  The writing is at times fanciful and lacks a historian’s perspective, but I took what I needed with a grain of salt.  Rick Adamson’s audio narration, however, couldn’t have been better.
