“This story is extraordinary. An almost forgotten hero: tough combat, tragic sacrifice, a marvelous horse, and an astonishing ending. Don’t miss this remarkable book.”

—David H. Petraeus, U.S. Army (Ret.) four-star general and former CIA Director

What a fantastic story about a leader whose courage on the battlefield deserves a standing ovation. I highly recommend At First Light.”

 —Mike Krzyzewski, Head Men’s Basketball Coach at Duke University and Naismith Hall of Fame member 

“I love World War II books, and none is better than At First Light. It’s like a combination of Band of Brothers and War Horse—or perhaps a mixture of Unbroken and Seabiscuit. A mesmerizing page-turner not to be missed.”

 —Pat Williams, co-founder of the NBA’s Orlando Magic 

“Phil Larimore was a Dick Winters from the Band of Brothers-type of frontline, small-unit combat leader. At First Light has the makings of a great movie or Ken Burns miniseries.”

—Col. Alexander P. Shine, U.S. Army, Infantry and War College Professor (Ret.)

“One of the most fascinating stories of World War II. A heartwarming true story of a great American hero.”

—Lt. Gen. William G. Boykin, U.S. Army (Ret.) three-star general

“A gripping five-star read!”

—Bob Welch, award-winning journalist and author

I enjoy being able to answer questions from the readers of Today’s Christian Living magazine in my “Ask Dr. Walt” column. Here are my Q&As from the March 2022 issue. I hope you’ll consider getting a subscription:

• Probiotics for General Health
  • I’ve read on the Internet that probiotics are great for general health. That makes sense to me. Would you agree? — Seeking Veracity in Virginia
