Thunder Overhead: How a Little Boy Survived Chicago

I first met Dr Millhuff in 1988 in Hemet, CA during a Revival Meeting. His God inspired message touched me then, and his soulful book touches me now!!He looks into his childhood and examines his experiences and his emotional reactions to those experiences. This process is so vital to both spiritual & emothional growth that everyone should enjoy reading this book!!

I first met Dr Millhuff in 1988 during a Revival Meeting in Hemet, Ca. His presence and God-given message was as powerful then - and I believe in much the same way this book is now. He guides the reader through his impressionable years and talks of how he was impacted. He unapologetically explains that his twin brother was not affected in the same way by the same experiences. This was not explored further in the book, but it points out a great psychological truth -- we all develop diferently based on our individual interpretations of the same experiences.Use this book to re-examine your early life and decisions!!

Through his skillful use of words, Millhuff tells a compelling story that captivates both heart and mind. It allows the reader to connect with the emotional pain of a young child and, as an outcome, to more adequately understand children who are unable to adapt to the rigid systems of their cultural environments. Though only one story, this narrative undoubtedly represents the experiences of many troubled children. Reading this record of Millhuff's perceptions of childhood events gave me new insight about and empathy for these children.This book is recommended reading for my university students who are education majors. I feel that Millhuff's telling account will influence the way teachers view all children and encourage them to strive to meet the needs of each student in caring ways.

Though I grew up in Kansas City I remember so many of Dr. Millhuff's feelings in my own life during the 40's. I admit I shed a tear and often smiled as I read this unforgetable story. What a great gift for anyone who lived during those years or for one who wishes to experiance them. I served with the Army in Europe with a rifle company and have a new insight into what that war ment to a child at home. It will move you.
