Don't Fly Today: When God Speaks - Listen!: Warning to Atheists - God does exist!
by Col. David O. Scheiding, USAF (RET.)

"Since we do not know when God will return, we as Christians must just live each day as if it were our last."

Author Scheiding presents a vivid memoir combined with socio-political themes, both underpinned by deep religious conviction. He begins by exploring his assertion that the Holy Bible is a work of nonfiction. Noting its construction over 1,500 years, Scheiding points out that during that time, no contradictions arose among its many separate authors’ accounts. He then reveals that his personal life has been directly affected by God’s oversight and, in some cases, direct intervention. Throughout his childhood, he received positive impressions from his church-going family and felt he was led to his wife of more than fifty years by remarkable circumstances.

The title-related story occurred when, during a takeoff as an Air Force pilot and forward air controller (FAC) in Vietnam, he distinctly heard a voice repeating those eponymous words and, feeling sure it was the voice of God, aborted the takeoff. More than half of this work focuses on Scheiding’s distress concerning world events and America’s current leaning toward socialism, an omen of cataclysmic, biblically predicted end times. He proffers hope that Americans will “turn back to God,” building a brighter future.

After serving in the Vietnam War, moving often in his work, and being directly involved in his role as lead FAC in a tragic accident that was subsequently litigated for many years, Scheiding has retired and turned his attention to writing. He strongly urges readers to fully accept, as he does, that God exists and that biblical prophecies are truth-laden. His themes are well-considered, drawing from recognized authorities in the genres that he explores, including biblical teaching. His passionate political position is clear, with convictions centering around that stance, imbuing his treatise with sincere intent and personal strength. Scheiding’s account of his experiences and ideals will impress and attract many readers, offering them solid stimulus for further study.
