"F. Enzio Busche ... was born in Germany in 1930, three years before Hitler's rise to power. Fifteen years later, when World War II ended, Enzio was a prisoner of war, having been drafted into the German army at age fourteen. The war left Enzio with many questions: Is there a God? What is the purpose of Life? What happens after death? In time, he learned the answers. Yearning for the Living God is a collection of Elder Busche's experiences — both before and after his conversion — and an account of the life-changing awakening that can come to all who search for truth in this world."

A friend recommended this book and said it was inspirational. She was right.
It was interesting to read about Germans’ reactions to Hitler and why so many welcomed his leadership initially. After experiencing war at a young age, Busche tried to make sense of what was going on around him. He searched for the Living God. He began to get answers or at least inklings of the direction to take.
Busche's journey started out being very self centered and then blossomed into a journey focused on Christ, others, and service. He served and served and served, and loved and loved and loved.
F. Enzio Busche worked hard for insights and spiritual experiences. Fervent prayer, deep faith, humility, sacrifice, and diligent obedience mark his journey and are great examples for all of us.
This book is a wonderful reminder of the importance of recording our life stories in detail. It is especially important to record and hand down the spiritual experiences that have shaped our lives.
Elder Busche inspires me to be more focused and fervent in prayer, be better, serve more, and love more.
