THE STORY OF ME AND MY KJV.---I was born on October 6th, 1933. Starting at my exact time of birth, counting 2,986 days, 3 hours and 55 minutes, on Sunday morning of 1941 a Japanese strike force of 353 planes destroyed Hawaii's U.S. naval base. On January 5th, 1945, two Kamikazes took aim at the aircraft carrier, USS Manila Bay. One hit his target. My brother was stationed on the bottom deck as his ship came within seconds of sinking. After the war, he came home greatly distressed, but he married and settled down. His wife birthed him a baby daughter. But one day at age 28 a brain cancer killed him, possibly from Naval fears. He was greatly loved by all, so my unsaved family was devastated. In his Hospital room, as he lay writhing, I found a Gideon KJV Bible in a drawer. I thumbed through it, but replaced it, not knowing the power between its covers. In April, 1942, the Doolittle raiders bombed Japan. A man named Deshazer was shot down and spent agonizing months in prison. He managed to get a Bible from a guard, almost certainly a KJV, and became a Christian in prison. Years later he returned to Japan as a missionary, resulting in the salvation of one Mitsuo Fuchida. Nearly 14 years after Pearl Harbor, I too became a Christian. My Tucson church's entire operational base sat on the KJV translation. I made it my life's gyrocompass to God's pure truth. One bright Sunday morning I went to church, and there on the platform sat Mitsuo Fuchida, the man who led the raid on Pearl Harbor-the man who shouted Tora! Tora! Tora! into his microphone, resulting in the death of more than 2000 Americans! He told the story of how he became a Christian. In the foyer, Fuchida and I, now Christian brothers, shook hands and looked each other in the eye. What irony! My brother from a Christian nation possibly MISSED Heaven with a KJV Bible next to his bed, and Fuchida FOUND Heaven in a KJV Bible strangely located in a heathenistic prison! I just LOVE that old black-backed book!
