The Search for Freedom
Sep-Oct '23

In the aftermath of the Communists’ takeover of Vietnam in the 1970s, Brother Peter was forced out of the seminary and drafted into the Communist army. He managed to escape but had to spend months hiding in the jungles of Vietnam before managing to migrate. Both the fugitive life and the escape were scary and life-threatening.
THE SEARCH FOR FREEDOM is an account of his journey from hopelessness through divine grace. He looks back at his periods of darkness and marvels at God’s providence that accompanied and strengthened him. As he writes in this book, “The journey to find God that I have experienced in my life has not been an easy one.” The book also offers glimpses of his life as a priest, sharing his journey to Jesus through the love of Mother Mary.

The Paperback is available in Amazon Bookstore:
