At just three years old, Alex Sytnyk's life was torn apart by war. Torn from his mother during the genocidal purges of World War II, he was commanded to run, to survive, and to trust that God and His angels would watch over him.
On Wings of Angels is the unforgettable true story of one boy's miraculous journey from the killing fields of Eastern Europe to a life of freedom and faith. From orphanages and foster homes across war-torn Europe to eventual refuge in North America, Alex's story is both harrowing and hope-filled, a testimony to courage, providence, and resilience.
In these pages, you will discover:
- A gripping firsthand account of survival during WWII
- The heartbreaking sacrifice of a mother's final words
- Miraculous moments of provision and protection
- The enduring strength of faith amidst unimaginable loss
- A life rebuilt on hope, perseverance, and God's grace
Perfect for readers of The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom and Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand, On Wings of Angels is a powerful memoir of survival and faith that will inspire you to trust in the unseen and believe in miracles.
