The Hero of Hacksaw Ridge
Have you seen or heard of the movie, Hacksaw Ridge by Mel Gibson?
It tells the story of World War II American Army Medic Desmond T. Doss, who served during the Battle of Okinawa, refuses to kill people, and becomes the first man in American history to receive the Medal of Honor without firing a shot.
Desmond Doss had a faith that ran so deep that it motivated him to serve in a hellish war, compelled him to give up his stretcher for another wounded man, and enabled him to suffer ridicule and persecution from those he would end up saving.
Take this on-line study that explores the faith of Desmond Doss and tells more about the man behind the story.
