Yearning for the Living God: Reflections from the Life of F. Enzio Busche by F. Enzio Busche, Tracie A. Lamb
3.0
3.5 stars.
I initially picked this up because I was intrigued that Elder Busche had served as a German soldier during WWII. I was interested in hearing about his experiences. It turns out that Elder Busche was drafted into the service at the very tail end of the war (although he was taken as a POW for a brief period of time) - so WWII was not the focus of this book. Instead the book focuses on Elder Busche's experiences being converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and serving in the church while it had a relatively small presence in Germany, and later on Elder Busche's experiences traveling across the world meeting with members of the Church. His stories are inspiring and faith-promoting and make me want to do better at seeking revelation and submitting myself to God.
