By Adam E. Heironimus
I recently had the privilege of reading “A Table in the Presence” by Lt. Carey H. Cash, It is about the combat experiences of the 1st Battalion of the 5th US marines. I thought that the most amazing thing about this book was the fact that even through the horror and bitterness of war, the marines were still always able to find time to praise and thank God for his blessings. The majority of the book reads like Lt. Cash’s journal of the events that took place in April 2003, but toward the very end there was a few chapters that I found very encouraging (even more so than the rest of the book). The last chapters were about God’s divine protection for the marines even in the midst of seemingly impossible dangers and trials- it just goes to show, just as Psalm 91 says “If you say, “The LORD is my refuge,” and you make the Most High your dwelling, no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent.- over and over again there would be stories of marines who “should of” or “could of” died, but were delivered “from the deadly pestilence” by God’s provision and protection
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who would like to read about real-life stories and experiences of people coming in contact with God’s mercy and grace and would give it a 5 out of 5 star rating.
